Digital Camera Advice

by everwondery Sep 20, 2005 8:57AM PDT

I'm looking for a digital camera and I've looked online a lot and read many, many reviews. There's so many of them out there, it'd be nice to hear what others feel are good cameras. Any advice on your thoughts on cameras with the following specs between $200 - $400 would be much appreciated. I'd like it if it had these features:

-at least 4 MP
-ability to use regular AA batteries
-have a flip-out screen (if that's possible for price I'm looking to pay)
-ability to take good video with sound
-ability to play video through TV (not sure how it's done - maybe s-video?)
-must be compatible with MAC and PC.

Thanks for sharing!

I only know of two cameras that fit your description:

They were just announced by Canon, they may not be in stores yet:

A610 - 5 megapixel - $299
A620 - 7 megapixel - $399

Here is a link to both:

Thanks for the suggestions, those look great! I was looking at the A520, but this looks even better.
