Trying out my new Canon G9. The little Ixus-30 with 3x optical zoom just wasn't quite enough.
I was going to buy one of Canon's refurbished cameras from their warehouse in Toronto, but after talking to their digital camera expert there, he pointed out that if what I wanted was more zoom, I should look at a new one, instead of adding extras onto a rebuilt one. So I took his advice, and went to London Drugs. It just happens they're having a sale on these this week. And they've got a 4 GB SDHC from Panasonic for only $27.98 and a spare battery from Optex for $39.98. So I now have the extras for it, too. Did I mention the User Guide is 273 pages? Most of us will probably never read half of them. I love its 6x optical zoom. At last, better close-ups.
