Where to find great Bargains like the Canon Powershot S80 for great Photography

When I purchased the Canon Powershot S80 through a seller on
eBay, it overcame many of the problems of my previous film
cameras. Such memories as waiting in a long line to drop off
film, not knowing whether my pictures were underexposed or
overexposed and being told, "you're pictures will be ready
tomorrow", is now a thing of the past.
It seemed only yesterday when I was shooting pictures from my
Pentax Zoom 90 Film Camera.
Not really being into Photography and more of novice, I simply
wanted a reliable camera that I can take on Family outings and
scenic pictures on trips. After reviewing a list of cameras,
visiting some online retailers and some of the auction sites, I
found a great bargain from a seller on eBay. I managed to buy my
first digital camera, the Canon Powershot from a reputable
dealer with excellent feedback (always read the feedback from
sellers) for under $500. It amazing on the bargains you can find
compared to some of the cameras with the same functionality
priced at over $3000. I often look for camera accessories as
well.
Even though the Powershot was smaller that some of the cameras I
had previously, it certainly didn't disappoint. The resolution
is quite amazing especially when you upload pictures to a
computer. The technical info says it has

8.0 megabytes of pixel
resolution and the pictures. At a resolution for 8.0 megabytes
it gives a screen resolution size of 3264 x 2448. I recently
read a review of a person who took a picture of his index finger
about1 1 1/2 inches away and uploaded the picture to his
computer. Then he zoomed on the finger and they could see the
dirt in the crevices that make up the fingerprint. I had to try
this out and it certainly makes the quality of any picture
unlike any I have seen in the past.
As for the battery and charger included, they were perfect for
travel. The prongs on the charger will collapse inward, and I
haven't had to recharge it frequently. On one trip I got almost
100 pictures without a charge (I went 5 days on a trip without
charging it). It sure saves from amount of times I've had to
replace the batteries in other cameras.
Video Recording was new to me and having it integrated with a
still camera was a bonus addition for the price. It uses the
computer movie format .avi and you can upload the movie to a
computer and watch it using the Windows Media Player. There are
also more video editing tools on the videos you record. I tried
the video selection 1024 x 768 at 15 fps until it reached the
maximum amount of memory of 32 MB (although you can buy
additional memory) and

haven't added to my collection yet) such as a waterproof case
