Robo, you got me looking at cameras now... :bash:

Have you ever looked at or purchased from refurbdepot before?

They have a cannon eos rebel xti for 425....... they say retails for 1450.

Not that I have the $$ to buy it now... but I will keep my eyes on that site if you think they are ok to deal with.

I also just found the Cannon G9 for 370.  reading the info from your link this is a good camera, I think,

That is an excellent camera, I have the Xt and it has been great, however you should read this site if you are considering an online purchase http://www.resellerratings.com/store/refurbdepot there is a place to find out reviews on any online reseller, just type in the name of the company and it will give you more information then you want to read about any company !!!

That camera will do you just fine and you should be able to find one on craigslist reasonable enough, or if it has to be a new one look at Walmart, they usually carry those and they are pretty inexpensive, the lens you get with them is not really great but you were going to upgrade that anyways right !!  ;)

Check out the Kodak Easy Share Z1012. It's a 10 megapixel camera with 12x optical zoom, image stabilization yada, yada, yada. It also has a schneider-kreuznach varigon lens, which is a high end German lens maker. I have the older 4mp version of this and I can tell you it takes awesome pics. It's a good size too so it won't slip into your shirt pocket, but it feels great in the hand. I saw it at WalMart for $249.

Just ordered up the A590 off Amazon for 118 bucks delivered to the door.  Tried a A580 and it took good pics.  Not a super camera compared to a lot, but for what I do it will be perfect.  That way when I dump the bike being stupid, or the horse knocks my pack off again I'm not out too much more money.  Thank you all for the help and input on what was what.

 I bought a Kodak m883 for my pack last year and it's a great hunting camera, not going to win any photo contest's with it, but is nice and compact and takes nice shots with good light, I'm still learning it's in's and out's on the setting's.

I got lost in the middle of the thread.....

Is there a Canon that shoots RAW within $50.00 of the 100IS or A590?

Thanks

The Canon G9 can shoot raw.  It's about $300.  The new Canon G10 can also shoot raw but it's more like $400.  Both of these cameras are the best point and shoot cameras out there.  They still aren't as good as a dslr but a few pros use the G9/10 for backup cameras.

Panasonic makes a good P&S with a good lens and raw too...

I wouldn't buy a camera that I'm taking serious photos with that does not shoot raw format.  Expecially since P&S cameras are prone to wierd exposure and such that can be fixed later...   :twocents:
