:^) Thanks a lot. Some q's...1) About Canon A70
Do you really consider its image quality good? I did compare images taken from the same indoor scenen with Canon Axx (forgot the exact model, but should be the direct predecessor of A70) and Nikon 3100, Canon's scene depth is too obviously _flat_ as compared to Nikon's.
2) About Sony
How's it? I came across some good stories about Sony DSC-P72 in the range. I also personally went down to a Sony dealer and the camera looks nice to me too. Any experience to share on it?
Thanks again! :^)

First of all, I use Canon A70.
Yes. Many reviews consider the photos by A70 is not as sharp (or so-called "soft") as Nikon's; but they also mention that the problem can be solved by post-processing of the images using softwares. Meanwhile, A70 also provides modes like "Vivian" and "Sharp" which will sharpen the images taken; these two modes are not default modes BTW. As for the problem of scene depth, I don't know if it is the problem with the aperture setting. I haven't encountered such problem.
Again, that's why I put Nikon 4300 here, which I think is better than Nikon 3100.
Nikon's camera is sharp in image and very good at its macro mode.
Now it is Sony. I think their cameras are cute and they produce good-colored pictures. The problem is Memory stick is more expensive than CF cards. Besides these, I really don't too much of Sony's products.
