Have a look at Steve's Digicams and compare the sample photos of the SD10
and others. I was not at all impressed by the SD10's color rendition and
noise, especially in comparison with the Digital Rebel. As for AA batteries,
although I have them, I really like the speed of popping in a single
replacement cell vice fumbling with the AAs.
