[dba-Tech] Digital Cameras

I just bought a digital camera myself last month, and this site was invaluable in selecting the model;

 http://www.imaging-resource.com/

I selected the Canon A80 and absolutely love it.

I had the card already, but the camera + 3 year warranty at Best Buy was about $500.  I was originally in your same price range, but am glad I went up a few dollars.

Here's a photo album of an airshow recently with pics taken exclusively with it so you can see how well it performs (pics have been reduced for the web);
