GREAT CAMERA. A bit pricey but worth it

I purchased this camera because of the size and the mega pixels. The 5.1 mp is outstanding. I went to a friend's graduation and tested the camera out. Later I had the pics developed at Wal Mart on their Kodak machine and the quality was remarkable. I could not ask for anything better.

The size is perfect and it fits nicely into a slim leather case designed for the Canon Powershot SD200. I found this at Best Buy for $24.99. Has a belt loop so that makes it even better. I purchased a 512mb xd card that will store around 400 images at 5.1mp quality.

A neat thing about this is that when you sort the pictures on the screen, you can look at them by date, which is great for someone with a large memory card.

Battery usage: The camera lasted great for around 60 pictures, most with flash and then a few 2-3 minute clips also. I am investing into a second battery for special events.

Now for the PRICE: I paid $399.99 for this at Best Buy and then I got the warranty also for $59.99. It was much lower on the internet(auction sites also) but I really suggest a warranty for such a delicate camera. The screen is huge and the camera gets lots of compliments in public.

In conclusion I would rate this camera a 9 out of 10, the one thing it is lacking is a rubber grip for sliding the on/off power switch.
