A few weeks ago, Teddy (you know him as "macguy") and I were discussing new cameras. He was looking to buy one for himself, and I was looking to buy one for my mom for her birthday.

I ended up getting the same camera he got, the Canon PowerShot SX10IS. It's a 10MP point-n-shoot with 20x optical zoom and up to 80x digital zoom. I picked it up for about $380, along with an 8GB SD card for $15. I figure it's a good replacement for the old Fuji FinePix A205 I have, which was my first "real" camera.
