i want to buy one for my woman for christmas, its the casio elixr, like 10.1 megapixel a bunch of features. is it a piece? should i buy? not bad on price either, $250
I have a Casio Exillim EX-s770 and its awesome for a point n shoot. look into that one.
Or if you REALLY want a good camera get a Canon Rebel XTi Digital SLR.
