Canon A620 for $199.00

[dman]

Is this a good price for this camera? How much will a housing run me?

Canon housings are usually around $170ish. You can check prices out at www.bhphotovideo.com and other places (there are a selection of links in the Pink Link for you - post #2 Where to buy)

This is an excellent price for the camera, run don't walk and get it!!
Housing for the A620 which is the WP-DC90 is around $165 I think on Amazon.com

Does anyone know the biggest size card I can use in this model? I want to be able to get plenty of pics!

The local Office Depot has it bundled with a color printer. I don't know if it is available elsewhere or not.

From the Canon website: "This camera has been tasted :shakehead with SD memory cards through 2 GB. All memory card functions cannot be guaranteed."
I don't see why the camera shouldn't work with larger cards like the forthcoming 8 GB. If there was an issue, Canon could do a quick downloadable patch since they sold a LOT of 620's.
That's a lotta photo eggs in one basket though.

I was just looking at an Office Depot insert, and they have the A630 with the eBayable printer for $299 with a $75 kickback to you. $224 for that is a better deal than $199 for the A620. Not sure about the nationwide distribution of the OD deal though.
