Hello All,
At a party last night a friend of mine said he liked our canon camera. I said it was a great camera and he could pick one up himself for $140 easy. It is now a year old model, but works great and takes great photos. He said there is no way I could find that camera for $140, so I did.
Radio Shack is selling the SD1000 for $139.97.
We paid $240 for ours over a year ago, and it is a great camera. The newer more expensive models have an extra megapixel (8 vs. 7) and optical image stabilization, which is great for indoor shots without the flash, and low light outdoor shots, but not all that useful for most people.
You can find the new camera at Newegg for $205.
That is not a great deal or a bad deal, it is just the cost if you want the newest camera with image stabilization. I would recommend the SD1000 and save the $65 for the next generation of image stabilization cameras.
For bonus reading here is a great article on the MegaPixel Myth, the short version is megapixels do not really matter once you get over 5 or so. Also here are two articles on image stabilization, one from wikipedia and one from canon.
Later,
John
