Is this digital camera a good buy? - 9/3/2004 2:04:57 PM    Bluebelle   Posts: 181 Joined: 4/16/2004 Status: offline I read the previous post about the digitals too. Local dept store is having an "early bird special" tomorrow on a Canon Powershot A310, 3.2 MP, 5.1 digital zoom, 3 min movie mode, for $140. They say its reg. price is $250 (probably over priced since its a dept. store.) Am trying to get as much input as I can before I go tomorrow with credit card in hand to line up. Thanks! Post #: 1

I paid 250$ for it, worth every penny. Good luck! ~Julie (in reply to Bluebelle) Post #: 2

With the price you listed I'd say that's a good buy. -Sam (in reply to Bluebelle) Post #: 3

I've decided not to get this particular one because it doesn't have optical zoom - just learned about the difference between digital and optical zoom. My film cameras have zooms and I don't think I'd be comfortable without it. (in reply to Bluebelle) Post #: 5
