Great info, still taking it all in. I previously insisted on an AA camera but found those rather limited in what I think of as a mid-range point-shoot. I did like just keeping a stash of batteries handy. Are there small cameras with 18-20x zooms out there that run on AA? I would be interested in models to research.
Couple random things I like about the Canon -- the burst shot is extremely easy to find, the camera body is bright red, and I ve had excellent luck with past Canon products ( cameras and printers)
Asa, no offense taken by me. You spoke with passion and gave good reasons for your opinion. I don' t anticipate overseas travel, but do a fair amount of local boondocking.
