Jim – Bought mine from CompUSA and the salesperson kindly pointed out that rechargable batteries were on sale. However, I’m still pissed that Canon just introduced a new camera to replace the A75.

Webmiztris – Can’t gnomes jump?

Heathen – If I ever get the courage to sign up and if I can somehow take a picture of myself without breaking a camera.

Question #8: Will you be reviewing the dating site your going to be using. It could be the funniest review ever!

can’t be my gnome. I keep everything at least a foot off the floor so he can’t get to stuff. ;-)

I just bought the same camera! After reading all the reviews I could fit in to the better part of an afternoon, I’m glad to see somebody else came to the same conclusion. Amazon was selling it for $250. Rechargable batteries would have been nice, but other than that, it seems like a good camera.

Lee – Um, I’d stick with the duct tape. Duct tape is always the perfect solution for any situation, like shutting people up.

Ayesha97 – With this camera I take awesome photos of consumer goods.

Aymie – As long as I don’t take a photo of myself, I’ll be all right.

Mellie – Wait. Encino Man Brendan Frazier or The Mummy Brendan Frazier.

Jen – Okay, wait. How many times has she called you to ask you how the camera works?

Aymie’s Mom – I just found out today that Canon introduced the new camera that replaces the A75. It will also cost $200 and will be lighter and smaller than the A75.

Webmiztris – Maybe your gnome was using the batteries for something.

Yam – I second that “Ew.”

I have a Canon Powershot camera too, not sure which one though. I think it’s great, but it is iffy with the batteries sometimes. Last time I changed them, I started getting the “Batteries need replaced” message after taking only TWO PICTURES ! Damn! Maybe I just need better batteries.

Fact #1 I bought my significant other the cheaper Canon PowerShot A75 for Christmas. $199 at Staples. Of course after the carrying case, battery charger and extra rechargable batteries, it was $300. He loves it. Fact #2 I have three sets of red “show me yer boobs” beads hanging on my rearview mirror. ‘Nuff said :P

My mom is 68 and recently got a pretty advanced Fuji digital camera. She doesn’t have a computer and has no tech skills. She takes her card in to the photo shop for prints and to get the photos put on cd, and that seems to work really well for her so don’t count seniors out on digital cameras.

re: Question #5 – another option to the brown paper bag is to get a life-size picture of, say, Brandon Frazier’s face, glue that to a popsicle stick, and hold it in front of your face for the pic. Hm, maybe a body shot of that would be even more effective…hmmmmm…mmm…

Hope this one doesnt break on you. I personally think Canon Digi cams are pieces of garbage, but, you cant beat that price for a 4.0 pixel.

I have a very similar Canon camera- its the power shot series, but I don’t remember the exact name. It takes awesome pictures! And as a great Christmas present, I got the Selphy photo printer by Canon. It only prints 4×6 but the quality is amazing!
