Default Looking to get Point and Shoot Camera.

I plan to get new Point and Shoot Camera.

My budget is around 400.

Can any one recommend a decent camera?

Hmm... Does it only use AA batteries? :eek: If it only use AA batteries.. I don't think I would get it..

Or I got it wrong...

Also at some other store..

Costco Canon A710 IS 7.1MP 2.5" 6x Optical 24x Total Image Stabilizer & Bonus ATP 2GB SD Card

Is it pretty much same as above.

Yeah i like to use rechargable AA batteries in my cameras because they are cheaper to replace, and if you want more they are easier to find.
