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?

Good idea, I shoulda thought of.

They only match to retail B&M's or B&M's web sites
with Sears web site, near as I can tell.

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.

A 1gb SD card is maybe $10-15. I'll sort out the battery
stuff later.

Thanks,
