In misc.consumers.frugal-living I saw the recent cross-posted thread
by the woman wanting a camera that uses AA batteries (plus other
things). Wow, I never thought to ask on the NG's when I purchased my
Canon A75 about a year ago. I checked Consumer Reports (useless) and

would purchase a canon 20d? with all it's problems....rgds to all from TBM...

My Canon G3 recently started producing blured pictures.  The camera is over
3 years old and never did this before.  I suspect that the autofocus is not

Is there anybody who have experience with both?

I am getting a Canon 20D with the 17-85 IS lens and I want to get a good
quality circular polarizer. Hoya has been recommended for quality coated
filters.  I want a filter with a front thread so I can use a lens hood.

VS P815).  However, when I blow pixels 200%, a careful examination

Not even most relatives achieve that from me.
I have taken so many great pictures with this camera it's rediculous.
I just finished taking some great shots during the fourth of July with
emphasis on sparklers.

First of all, hi to you all!!
Maybe not the right spot the advertise my own little photo gallery, but then
I again. I can try. I've made my own photogallery. All pictures in this
