I didnt end up getting one last night cause the sales man confused me and made me have to think about it over night.....lol
I just got back from the Future Shop! I just got the Canon Power shot G2. I got it for $1000. It was regular $1300. It has 4.0 Mp's, 3X optical zoom, macro 2.4in to 2.3ft, movie mode and It also has an ac adapter as well as rechargable batteries. We bought the 128 meg card too. Oh and it has a twisty aroundy screen! lol

I AM SO HAPPY!!
I plan on taking some reptile pictures tonight....Kurt has OTHER ideas...omg :P....LOL
Once I figure it all out...I'll post some of MY pictures (of reptiles).... ;P
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone...it really did help narrow down the options.
