Jecht, I have two, not one but two, Canon A540 Powershot cameras. The manual settings on this camera are more than even I know. I took it to JaimeCBR when I first got it and he couldn't believe the features it had. You can pick it up off Ebay all day long for $120/shipped. And this includes 4 rechargeable batteries, a battery charger, 1 or 2gb SD card. That's why I bought two. My wife has the other one. Later, QD.
