guys,
I am planning to buy the canon A700. After quite some googling i zeroed in on this one which balances Size - Resolution - optical zoom - price :-)

Some things i also am worrying about is the mem card. Though it supports both SD and MMC i dont think it will be compatible with the Memory duo card which are used by Sony ericcson ( my next mobile SE K790i :d).

Also wonder how much max mem card this digicam can support

would have been good to have a common upgrade card for both.
I guess sony digicams support it but its reviews / feedbacks are not that great.
So do you have any inputs on the best digi cam below 300$
