For that price thing - what are the two retailers? I garuntee one of them is a cut rate place that has never updated their site. I went to a retailer's site via Yahoo Shopping and was amazed how stupid they are.
They had a DSC-P5 for 499usd. They said it was a "sale", but if you look 1 line above, it says the original price is the exact same. If you look to the right you see a DSC-P7 listed for 499usd also. And right next to it is a DSC-P9(4mp) for guess what-the same price.
The 380 is still cheaper if you look at what you need to buy. For instance a 64mb card for the 380 costs 19usd. While a 64mb for a 390 costs 32usd. Yes they are different formats, but heck-who really needs a format that can record at 1.2X faster. The 390's initial purchase price is cheaper than 380 because the 390 was introduced as a cut rate camera with the basics, while the 380 has been in production for a while and has proven itself as a great deal among camera freaks.
If you feel gittery about buying online, find a bricks and mortar store that has a price match garuntee. Show them the price and argue with them. Some match the price, and some even beat it.

It is a pure newbie camera. The results are great, but you wont have many options. For instance - it has no zoom. If you just want to take occassional photos its great, but the moment you want to get out of that beginner box - you'll face a brick wall.

Cooler? Well the DSCP8. No duh. The DSCP32 is a waste of money( no zoom).
The new range of cybershots confuse me. There have 2 same models. Anyone care to tell me the difference between the p92, and p10? or the p72 and p8?
I don't remember which retailers they were. Well I went to four different stores and surprisingly no one had Powershot A20! But I saw A60 and I liked it but didn't buy it at that moment. I compared its price with Powershot S200 and there wasn't much difference so I have settled for S200 now. Would you guys choose S200 over A20 and A60? I just ordered it last night from bhphotovideo.com. It cost me $260 including S&H (was it a good deal?...I think with all the other stuff like AC adapter and extra 64MB memory card it's gonna cost me over $300...I'm not sure where to buy these two accesories...Is there a store or website where I can get good discount on these??
Definitely. I am a true fan of the S series from Canon. I would of recommended it to you, but you did not put it on your initial list. Nice choice - the photos look great even at low res.
Why would you need an AC adaptor? Doesnt the s200 come with a recharger? Anyway a 64mb will be pretty cheap for the s200. Found a dirty cheap 64mb card for only 18usd at amazon . Heard they created CompactFlash, and that they supply several out of the box cards. Probably a good deal.
Sorry I was confused about whether they had included recharger but it was included so I’m not gonna order it now.
Hey I was first going for 256MB card but when I read Faisal’s message in another thread that 64MB would be enough so I ordered 64MB(from amazon). Well it wasn’t shipped yet so I just cancelled the order. I read reviews on this brand(viking components) and in some reviews people said that their card “died” after sometime. Anyways, I just ordered Sandisk 256MB for $55(S&H). I guess 256MB will be enough flash memory, what you think?
Oh well. Did you order a Compact Flash card? Yes 256 is enough. You can probably get close to 3,000 photos on that. Not sure about Canon’s compression tech so I cant give an exact figure. My 128 gets 1,300ish on low res.
