It is very important to try the camera in real life first, don't just buy it off the net.



This is probably the best advice. When we bought our Cannon the newer version (8 mega pixels) had just come out and was about $250-300 more. I almost bought the newer model from the net until my wife and I decided to stop in at a local camera store. Well since she is the photographer of the family, I had her try out each and she liked the older style more. It was a little bigger and she said it was more comfortable to hold. For what we use it for 6 mega pixels is enough.
