>>89327 My mother's old point and shoot was a free (FREE!) canon sureshot that she got from collecting other's marlboro miles. I think it was a 40 f/3.something? nothing fancy. We chipped in and got her one of the canon powershots when it died. A610, I think, it was a cheaper one(180USD, iirc). The difference is ridiculous. It's not sharp, the colours are horrible, the noise reduction is very pronounced, even at low ISO. She doesn't care because she can look at pictures on the back and it's cheap-as-free for prints. That's why it's taking/has taken so long for digital point and shoots to become "good." It's not because it was technically difficult, it's because consumers don't care. See: MP3s, digital cable, foo. not that I'm bitter or anything
