Canon PowerShot A2100 IS

By Oery (dpreview.com)

I just bought it. Love it for the pictures produce from this mini digicam. It is compact, but still easy to handle, not too small like some IXUS. So, it is replaced my 40D in some occasions when DSLR not suitable. And, yes, because...... it's BLACK :)

Maybe Canon can use better "plastic" to A-Series Bodies. Some material that Nikon used on their D5000, D90, will be pleased. Or metal based, just like Sony W2xx, Fuji F50/F60fd, that won't add cost too much
