No More Nikon for Me
Okay, I've got an entire (almost new) Nikon Coolpix 8800 package to sell – complete with official carrying case, portable lens cleaner, extra battery, etc. Seems I could sell everything Nikon'ish for ~$700, so… before I go that route, I thought I'd pitch it to my readers here (and on Lockergnome). Nothing wrong with the camera at all, but I think I'm ready to go back to the Canon Family. Per a recent press release for the Canon PowerShot S2 IS:
“This is perhaps our most versatile digital still compact ever,” commented Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “With both digital camera and digital video camera functionality rivalling many dedicated single function devices, the PowerShot S2 IS represents a convergence of Canon's core imaging technologies in the areas of lens, image processing, digital still camera and digital video camera development.”
Fits the bill for me! I can't get it until after the Nikon Coolpix 8800 set is gone.

After a recent CNET write up. I kind of felt the new Nikon was the way to go. But I've not done anymore research to confirm that thought yet. Way out of price range. So I really don't have to worry about it.

My son has a Nikon D80 and it is a great camera. It is pricey so you have to be serious about photography to get one. I’m sure not all Nikon models are ideal for all photographers, but I’m sure that is true of Canon, Minolta, Kodak, etc.

The Canon S3 is a better bet.
I bought an S3 about 8 months ago & am thrilled to bits. 6.0 mpix. is just great I have just bought a Samsung SyncMaster226BW LCD Monitor . The S3 pics are fantastic.
I have some pics. done with a Rebel with 10.2 Mpix and the difference is so small that unless you are doing proffesional work the S3 does about everything.
