  Building on the trim, stylish looks of Canon's Digital ELPH line, the new PowerShot S330 retains the solid design and great performance of the previous S300 model, but adds a host of new features and a redesigned LCD menu system. The ELPH cameras continue to rank among the smallest digicams, small and rugged enough to truly qualify as "take anywhere" cameras. (An available underwater housing accessory means you can even take the S330 snorkeling or scuba diving!) The S330's rugged, all-metal body can handle heavy use, and the flat camera front (with lens retracted) makes it very pocket friendly. Equipped with a 2.0-megapixel (effective) CCD, the S330 captures good quality images, suitable for printing enlargements as big as 8x10 inches. Combine this with a sharp 3x zoom lens, straightforward user interface, and plentiful exposure options, and the S330 should appeal to a wide audience.

The Lowest Price is not always best ! When you buy a digital camera, the basic package almost always includes extras such as a battery charger, lens cap, batteries, flash memory card, and software. One of the more disreputable practices a dealer can engage in is called unbundling. These dealers remove items from the  package that are normally included in the price and price them separately. When purchasing a camera you have three components of the price to consider - the camera price, postage and handling, and taxes. Many dealers lower the price to make the camera more attractive, then increase the postage and handling to boost their profits. Hesitate before accepting extended warranties. Every knowledgeable consumer expert says it's better to gamble. Most of a company's profit is in the sale of these warranties so they press, and press hard. Your job is to resist, and resist hard. The only thing to keep in mind is that digital cameras can be horribly expensive to repair. If you want peace of mind, you may want the warranty, even though it's probably overpriced. The cost of a repair can approach, or even exceed, the original purchase price. When you buy a camera from a reputable dealer, you expect to be able to return it if you aren't satisfied. Some dealers try to discourage this by requiring a restocking fee for returned merchandise. This is always explained as a way to recover their costs of checking the merchandise and restoring the packaging you may have opened. Many dealers is truly a false, deceptive and a total crook. Bait and switch tactics used. Does not sell new merchandise and will ship used or refurbished goods without notifying customer. They then try to charge a restock fee on top of their exobitant shipping fees to make a profit where they could not on their goods. A try case of buyer beware.
