Digital Camera
I have Olympus C50Zoom. Find it very good and compact. Has 5 MP and all the
features one would want in a digital camera. Fits into a shirt pocket. Usually take about 300-400 pics weekly on a cruise. I use additional 256 pic cards rather than transferring to CD. For that I wait till I'm home.

Digital Camera
I've had the Canon Powershot A70 for a few years and love it! So user-friendly
an takes decent pics. It's 3.2 mega pixels and has both optical and digital zoom. I highly recommend it! I know the A80 is an upgrade with the screen having the capability of swiveling like a camcorder.'
