Got a new digital camera the other day, a Canon PowerShot A610. I only read reviews of it and a competing Sony camera. At Best Buy, there were several competing models, and we chose this one, almost arbitrarily. I must say the technology in all the cameras these days is incredible. I could hardly be happier. The software installed flawlessly. The camera has worked flawlessly, even with the large feature set. I like that it has fully manual modes just like an SLR.
This is actually the same experience I had when I bought a Canon Pixma MP760 printer/scanner/copier months ago. That crazy thing is fabulous. Just as with the camera, the software and hardware both have been perfect. One feature not found on many competing models is that is will scan 35mm negatives into pictures. My daughter uses this feature with very nice results.
Canon really seems to be doing things right these days.
Need to mention a tool I use all the time: The Merriam-Webster toolbar. Look up words just by highlighting them as you read online, then click the toolbar button. They have a couple different types. Have a look here. Wonderful!
