Re: Still the best point and shoot ever made, for my purposes....

It is one of the best. I have owned an enjoyed the A80, A95, A620 and the A650IS.

They all had viewfinders, flexible LCDs, and used 4 AA batteries. Use Lithiums, and you are set for years, literally. I installed CHDK on my 650 and it worked great.

The electric wires to my LCD wore out, and it did cost over over $200 bucks to repair, bur it would have cost far more to get one in decent shape on ebay. The only thing I wish it had was a wide end 28mm. My prior A's went to son, Daughter and wife and are still in service.
