Well I left work and flew to Circuit City. Had an hour between work and class. Ran in the store and told them what I wanted. I got the Canon A80 w/ a free 128mb CF card. For $399.99+Tax. Then I added the 4 year "unconditional warranty" for $80 in hope that if something does happen to the camera they will actually fix it for free like they are supposed to. So for $503.34 I got the camera, 128Mb CF, and 4 year warranty. I know I coulda done better if I had ordered it online but I needed it for this weekend as I sold the DC265 today and I felt more comfortable picking it up from a store I know and don't hate as much as best buy. Pictures will be coming in 24 hours or so.

Cool. 128MB is pretty good. And CF prices are pretty reasonable up to 520MB. Until you got this going, I didn't know that you could attach lenses to the A80. I use the wide angle and the telephoto lens on the G3 - the wide angle's a lot of fun. :thumb

I'm just a bundle of info sometimes. I always have to know as much as I can about something before I buy it so... Well so far so Good. Oh and I forgot to mention I already had 1 128 strip so I should be set for memory for a long time. 1-32mb and 2-128mb and I carry my laptop with me when I travel so I can always offload onto that.
