It's sold under the IXUS name in other countries and under the SD300 Digital Elph name in the NA market...kinda like the 300D / Digital Rebel name difference.
J&R sells them, for instance.

The D70 blew everything away in the market when it came out, out-performing much more expensive cameras and putting to shame the 300D (in features, not the pictures IMO). Canon answered with the 20D which is a much better camera however it does cost most. Arguably the D70 is still the best camera for its pricerange on the market today.
I have:
Nikon D70
18-70mm DX (kit lens)
70-300 APO SMII (sigma) cheap and works well
a few filters, free Nikon bag I don't use because its too high a profile, a couple LowePro bags I do use, monopod, tripod....more stuff.
This D70 was my first experience in DSLR cameras and after the two lenses I currently own I am not going to purchase anymore until I can make a more educated decision between Nikon and Canon for future purchases. I have a lot of friends in the photographic field at work and they all swear by Canon....so I get a lot of jokes at my expense when I shot with my D70
It's embarassing. I have a FujiFilm FinePix1300. The same one I've had for God knows how long. A wooping 1.3 megapixels and 2X zoom!
I want to get a new one, but I'm waiting for my stepfather to buy a new one, so I can get a better one. Why you ask? Because he always has to have one-up on me. It's some kind of game to him, in his mind, he's in some kind of contest with me. It's veyr weird.
Anyway, here's the camera I got.

just got a Casio EX-Z750...a pocketable 7 MP camera. as an earlier poster had stated, I too was unimpressed with the picture quality of Casio Exilims in the 3-4 MP range, but this camera has outstanding optics.
the reviews have been great too, i would thoroughly recommend it not only to someone who wants a full featured pocketable digicam, but also to anyone who is interested in great quality pictures in an affordable package.
god, i sound like a carpet salesman or something...

I think my next camera will be the Casio. Maybe after several months of using the Nikon, I'll hand it over to my older brother and get myself an EX-Z750. Hopefully the price drops a little.
I saw some of the sample film this thing takes, it's pretty sick. You practically have a portable movie camera with that thing.
So I started looking around at some of the cameras suggested here. I think the one i was most impressed by was the Casio EX-Z750. That's a sexy looking camera, and it's specs beat the hell of anything else I've seen, save the $1000 professional cameras.
Hows it hold up? I take my camera pretty much everywhere, just incase. You know? I'm not a photographer, I just like to have a camera incase something worth taking a picture of happens.
It seems a little pricey, but you get what you pay for, right?
Anyway. Anyone else use this one that would care to comment?

Diddo on the D70!
I also use a pair of Sony Mavicas for work
A FD73 (Floppy Disk, <1 MP, 10x optical zoom) Great for microscope work
A FD100 (Floppy/Memory Stick, 1.3 MP, 4x/3x zoom) For out and about shooting

Man, borrow a friends new low end camera, flash it in front of the Competitor-in-law, he get a medium something to beat you, and then you spend the same on a great deal, top of the line, dad in law humiliator! Then to beat you he has to buy a second camera (lots of bucks) and you got what you wanted and made him spend the $$$.
I personally own a Fujifilm S5100. I've had it since Christmas and I absolutely love the thing. It's a tad on the larger size for a 4MP, but it has a 10x Optical Lens that is amazing. Great overall camera. I just bought my girlfriend a Casio Elixim S100 and it's a nice little camera. Although it only runs with 3MP it's a great camera for someone who doesn't want bulk and doesn't need a gigantic picture size. Overall we haven't seen any of the problems that you have been stating with the Casios at all. It's the sexiest camera I've seen in a while, and when it comes to a girl, looks matter.
Where do I begin?

Nikon Coolpix 3100 w/ gray neoprene Nikon case, 2x 128MB cf cards and GP 1800 mah rechargeables. Had it for 2 years now I think. Suits me fine for point and shoot.
