Yep, a $7 case and a $12 memory card. It does add value but not "buy me now or forever regret it" value, especially with the Xmas season coming up.
That said, I bought the damn thing. :laugh2:

Yeah, i agree, a nice add-in, but not a barn burning deal maker. I posted it because it was timely to this thread and newegg tends to have pretty competitive prices and their email promo's tend to be even a bit better.
Glad it was helpful and hope the wife likes the camera
ChadTower:
She should, she's not a technical person like we are, so if it's easy to use she'll be fine. Thanks for posting, the reviews all peg that as best in its price range.

I don't think those cheap Ixus models offer good picture quality though. You actually pay a lot of money for the size factor.
If the size (or styling) is not an issue then the Canon Powershot A560 offers better pictures at a lower price. Unfortunately not a full review with picture comparisons, but the galleries offer some pictures to compare.
for instance a studio shot at 80 ISO for both:
- SD1000 sample
- A560 sample
ChadTower:
The second sample is definitely a bit better under those conditions. Not tons, but a little bit.
boykster:
With small point and shoot cameras, its always a tradeoff of size vs picture quality. I'd much rather have pictures from a "lesser" camera because I brought along the camera because it fit in my pocket, vs not getting any pictures because I didnt' want to carry around a bigger camera that didn't fit in my pocket.
Don't get me wrong, I have 2 film SLR cameras, and am in the market for a DSLR at some point; but the camera I use most is my Panasonic DMC-FX9 little point and shoot camera. Why? Because it fits in my pocket and I can take it anywhere.
