Yeah...and it's really hard to smash plastic in the fireplace after a toast...

The reason I am looking at the S70 is that it has a 3.6x optical zoom as well as 7 megapix. I think everything else from Canon in that size is 3x. I have often found myself stretching the limits of my A40, especially when trying to get good boat pictures from the shore. .6x may not seem like much but every little bit helps. The A line is good, though. I really have been happy with the A40. But I am going to check out the Nikon line before I decide. I'm sure they have something competitive and Nikons are good quality. One thing that is important that often isn't stressed enough. I had a 5 megapixel gateway camera. I sold it and kept my 2 megapixel Canon. The reason was that the Canon has very high quality lenses and that can often mean more than the megapixels. Some cameras have plastic lenses and some have glass. Glass is much better and more durable.

Yeah...the problem I keep running into is that, when you get much past 3x optical the camera no longer fits easily into your shirt pocket. The S70 I am looking at has 3.6x with about 7 megapixel. That seems to be the best Canon has in a shirtpocket camera. I am thinking of checking out some of the other brands but I like Canon.

I have heard many camera salespersons say that but I don't agree at all because it assumes that every picture you take will be exactly what you want without cropping. The last photo on this page is a perfect example: Into the Sun I took that at the highest quality setting with my 2 megapixal, 3x optical Canon A40. The resulting picture is cropped down so far it is only useful for posting on the web. What you see here is full size, but if I hadn't taken it in as high a resolution possible I wouldn't even have that. (the rest of the pictures on that page I took with a Canon A1 35mm) Lee

I use a Canon Powershot A40, 2 megapixel with a 3x optical zoom (digital zoom is worthless). I prefer Canon because of the high quality of the lenses, which is as important as the megapixels. I have also used Canon cameras for several decades. This camera is a bit dated (I am looking at upgrading to the Powershot S70), but it easily fits in my shirt pocket and I used it for all the pictures on this page: Animals The A40 is really a pretty simple camera. I don't like a lot of fancy options and I like something that is easy to carry. There are several newer cameras in the powershot A line that aren't too expensive and most of them are better and smaller than the A40. Lee

One problem with that is what is called a Rumplestiltskin attack, where bots send out emails to every_possible_address@******. The ones that DON'T bounce get added to their spam list as good email addresses. I tracked several of these attacks in the mail server logs when I was running my own server. It is a lot like a dictionary password attack where they try all known names and words as possible addresses at your domain. However, they also use email addresses previously encountered. For example. If they have the address "peter43218@aol.com", they will try "peter43218@******" This always comes up in discussions of whether it is better to blackhole or fail. Both methods have pros and cons. I know there are ways to fight Rumplestiltskin attacks and TCH may have something in place. I have a fairly simple email address and I don't get any spam at all so I don't think it has happened on my current domain. Lee
