Combining the reviews for a pro/con list should give you a good idea
of how they perform and behave.

As far as the Canons go, the A80 (Ax0-series) is heavier than the
smaller Sxx0-series, but includes a better manual mode and it also
takes accessory lenses and (polarizing and other) filters thru the
use of a 52mm threaded lens adapter!

I certainly value that possiblility with my A60, but from my
experience with the limitations of 2 megapixels i will recommend
getting 4 megapixels as it will make your camera last longer, and
that's not a bad thing concidering the cost of these cameras.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I just purchased a Canon S50 (my first digicam). Combine the 5
Megapixel quality with the terrific software from Canon, and you get a
great beginner's package for a reasonable price.

Good luck.
