[at-l] Canon camera question

[blisterfree at isp01.net (Brett)]

The Powershot A75 has recently been replaced with the A510, 
which is a bit lighter, offers a 140mm optical zoom (vs 
130mm on the A75), and is smaller - owing in part to its use 
of the smaller SD media cards (vs Compact Flash on the A75) 
and 2 AA batteries (instead of 4, I think).

At last check, www.newegg.com offers the A510 for something 
like $180, with free shipping. 512MB Secure Digital cards 
are available at the same site for around $40.

And see a review of the A520 (the A510's 4mpx twin) at the 
same site.

I've owned a 510 for about a week now. Haven't had much time 
to play around with it, but indoor photos are far and away 
superior to those rendered by last year's Olympus Stylus 
digital line of cameras. The 510's optional-manual features 
seem very rich, allowing for a wide range of technique and 
compensation under various types of light.
