Re: Cameras
Bruce the Fuji is very nice but too damn big. Chuck, that Canon may be the ticket. I have the Canon SD400 now and it it tiny and a geat size to carry, but no wide angle. The S70 still looks pretty small and with a 28mm equivalent lens looks like a good camera for car pics. Thanks guys.

I agree, I also use a S5100 and after getting use to all the available settings I found it takes killer pictures. Closes thing to a true SLR you can get with paying 900.00+ Rick

Re: Cameras
Amen Keith. Ever since I bought my Sony Cyber-Shot with 2.5" LCD monitor and 3x optical zoom on 12-23-04 I have had nothing but fun with it. It takes excellent pictures and I dump the ones I don't like and e-mail the good ones to Costco for developing. I also use it in my eBay sales where good photo quality definitely helps sell things.

Re: Cameras
Bruce,
About how many pictures can you take with your camera before you have to change batteries? I too am looking for a new camera. My current one (Minolta) eats batteries and takes about 12 pictures before it needs new batteries so I am concerned with battery life as well as good pictures. Thanks.

Re: Cameras
Spring for the Lithium battery.
 Worth the investment. I have 8 NiCad batteries, and they need recharging after about 50-60 flash photos. The Lith battery from my old camera still works after 2 years, and has never let me down.

Re: Cameras
I would say your camera has a problem with only getting 12 pics before the bats are dead. I used my Fuji S5100 for 4 days at B-J and only had to change the 4 AA bats once. Around 300 pics 1600x1200
