While I researched it, I feel like I got lucky with this purchase. Found this review after I had made the purchase. The camera is much smaller than I thought it was going to be, and it feels much better engineered than the Kodak. The A70 still has the power of 4 AA batteries. The right “hand grip” allows the extra two batteries to fit.

Danny observed immediately that the power button on the Canon will last much longer than the one on the Kodak. iPhoto on the iMac immediately recognized the camera and offered to import all of the pictures… just like the commercial.
