I have yet to buy a digital camera. Mostly I worry about battery life and picture quality. And I still like to have actual photographs for albums and frames, without having to buy a photo quality printer. I’m very happy with my 14 year old Nikon 35mm and no digital cameras have enticed me. But this past week I kept thinking about the new Canon Digital ELPH. It’s 3.4 x 2.2 x 1.1 inches and weighs around seven ounces. What can you expect from something that small? According to the Digital Camera Resource Page review, quite a lot! It’s a 2-megapixel, has zoom, and supports speedy USB. It uses white LEDs to backlight the display. This other review has photos comparing its size to credit cards and a key chain. As for battery-life, it’s a lithium ion (no icky NiMH!) and they claim 85 shots with the LCD on, 270 off. It’s $600. But I don’t really need one, do I?
