Sears has Canon PowerShot A560 7mp for $150. Anybody know anything about that
make/model? Know of anything better for comparable $?


Most of the Canon's and Nikon's are pretty decent. The A560
can be had for less -- Dell have it currently at $124;
Buydig.com at $134 with free shipping and probably no tax
depending on where you live. Maybe Sears will match?

Lots of good info and reviews available he

With most cameras you should plan on buying an extra
(larger) memory card. With many, you should plan on
an extra battery too. A few models have really long
battery life but I've normally found it better to
work with two batteries -- put a new battery in and
charge the old one. Then you always have one fully
charged battery on hand.
