The A80 uses 4 AA batteries. You will burn through them very quickly...Especially if you use the flash and LCD screen. I would never buy the camera for that reason alone. Been there, done that.

yeah, one of my concerns why i had hard times making
the right choice. But a friend suggested to use rechargeable
Alkaline NiMH batteries instead.

can any one recommend a much better alternative?

yeah, I got the A70 just a couple weeks ago... I also got the Powershot NiMH batteries for it, rechargeable... they usually make it through a full day, and I've been taking pics of EVERYTHING!
So a spare set of rechargeables (to make sure I'm good for the full day) and I'd be all set, then a recharge at night and I'm good to know.

And as for features.... for the price, you can't beat the Powershot A70/A80... if you don't want to spend a fortune because you won't be using your camera professionally, then I would definitely recommend the A70/A80.

A couple of days ago...Amputate Your Head and I were comparing the two cameras side by side. He walked out of the camera store with the S50 and loves it.

They also make a waterproof enclosure for it that is good for up to 100 feet. Perfect for lucky bastards who live on Maui.

im down to my last 2, S50 and A80... head to head comparison.
eventhough S50 cost $100 more, i could squeze in some extra
bucks for that 1 Meg pixel.

buying a cam has never been easy for me. damn, this flu
sucks.
