Beautiful Pictures, but know what you are buying
Canon PowerShot A650IS 12.1MP Inexpensive digital camera

The Canon a650 takes beautiful pictures. I have a high end, digital SLR as well, and while I can notice differences with larger prints, the image quality is not that far off. I would say the difference is more due to the lenses than the digital cameras. It is not that the lens in the a650 is bad -just that I bought expensive lenses for the SLR. While the price for the a650 may be daunting for a point-and-shoot, please note that the a650 is internally identical to the Canon G9, which cost another $100 and cannot use AA batteries. One caution to note, however, is that this digital camera is heavy and big. It weighs close to a pound with batteries and will not fit in you pocket. Before you buy, go hold the digital camera. I almost bought the sd950 for its smaller size, but decided that I could not relay only on rechargeable batteries, which is ironic considering my SLR only uses rechargeable and I have never had problems.
