I just got a Canon PowerShot S5 IS 8.0 megapixel camera. It cost me 4600 airmiles. I think they retail for between 4 and 5 hundred. It has a 12x optical zoom which is nice cause it will take good shots of the tank/fish without getting to close. It has a macro function for close ups and an aquarium function too (???). I need to finish reading threw the book to figure everything out but so far it's pretty neat.

if you don't want to spend the money on the S5 IS, the S3 IS is still available in some stores, and for most people, they'll never know the difference.

Futureshop shows it for $400 vs $550 for the S5 IS.
