I recently read the stats on top 10 best selling digital cameras. 6 out of 10 were by Canon. So, if you wanna stick with SONY then I got nothing to say but, if you do wanna buy Canon digital cameras, visit www.opticsplanet.com Their prices are reasonable. Now, keep one thing in mind when you buy any electronics stuff. You must buy from the 'authorized dealer' and register your product. We gorkhalis don't have that habit of registering products. By doing so, you will get the manufacturers' full warranty if case something happens to your proudct. rest is upto you. I hope it helps.
