I'd recommend the card reader to anyone as its simple and quick and uses no "battery" power from the camera.

Sourdough, that is a good deal....The 950 has features I know I'd never use, but its a super camera....and that is one HELLUVA price with the "extras" they're offering. The 950 is a bit larger unit, but its great.

Hey Davis....The S10 was the other choice for us and I'm glad to hear that you're happy with yours. A always wonder when I decide on something, how my other choices wouls have worked out. The Canon measured up well against the Nikon and the price was a somewhat better too. Happy to know I'd have been happy either way......and I wish we could have met for coffee or something on your NC trip to compare!!!

One point that several articles discussed was which was better.......Do you buy a digital camera from a computer company (ie, Hewlett-Packard) or from an optics company (ie, Nikon).......made for some good reading, but there are great cameras being produced by both and I don't really think its an issue.
