ok i think ive narrowed it down to the Cannon Powershot SD300 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6830120160

or my friend at sony will get me the DSCP200, which is the camera that she has. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6830150057

her discount wont even get the price cheaper than newegg, but she speaks very highly of it and it is a 7MP camera.

the Canon though is alot smaller and i think will suit my needs just fine. I went to see the musical 'Wicked' on Friday night and was using her DSCP200 to take some shots. It has alot of functions and seemed to be a nice little thing but again, the Canon is alot smaller and the sony was a load in my pockets when combined with my keys, money and phone.

Here are some questions I have for you guys. I never by extended warranties, ever. I usually consider them to be a waste of money because products almost always have a manufacturers warranty on them. I havent bought a camera before, so i wanted to know if you guys think i should get a warranty on my camera. Best Buy has a 4 year replacement warranty for both the Sony and Canon. thats alot of freakin money right there and im not sure about getting one.

Also, i dont know if i should get an extra battery. the camera comes with one and a charger, so couldnt i just charge the camera when its not in use? im going to Canada in two weeks for about 6 days, do you think i need an extra battery?

Im thinking that 512mb mem card would be good for a 4.0MP camera what size memory should i get for a 7.2 MP camera? i dont anticipate taking more than 100 pics....but i never thought i would have 20Gb of pr0n either.

thx for the help guys.
