I recently bought the Canon PowerShot A95. Haven't used it yet except to put the batteries in and take a test picture. Anyone have this camera? How easy is it to transfer the pics to the PC....as you can tell I am technically challenged LOL

I would go with one of these:

1. Canon EOS 350 D
2. Konica Minolta Dynax 7D
3. Nikon D70s
4. Olympus E-300
5. Pentax istDx

This one, Canon PowerShot A95, isn't any good?

depends on what you will need it for - I assume that you will shoot content with it, right?

No..I'm just going to do eBay stuff with it, that's why I didn't go for anything too fancy. I think if I was going to shoot content I would have gotten something different. It looks like a nice little camera.

I have the Nikon D70 and absolutely love it. Last month I got a telephoto zoom for it and a 1 gig memory card for it.

What do you like about it?

The camera can be set to fully manual. It is a true SLR so what I see is what I get. Interchangeably lenses. I can shoot about fifty high rez images before it pauses to write to the card so no missing the money shot or anything like that. The camera's software, (its menus), are intuitive so it is easy to learn. Battery last for hours. Two batteries is more then enough for even a really long shoot. It feels and handles just like a 35mm SLR.

Things that I don't like about it.
No mechanical shutter release socket so you have to buy an expensive remote control instead of just a cable release. Also no PC socket so you have to buy an expensive hot shoe adapter for using it with studio strobes. Both of these things are minor and seems to be the way all the digitals are now.

Your camera is fine for doing eBay stuff.
