My 1st wife has a Canon A80; I have a Canon A95 (now $254). They both take amazing pics. We use a Canon ip3000 inkjet (now $45) for prints. The results are as good or better than 35mm.

Look here for A95:

After too much sun & cheap wine, I accidently flipped a rod & reel into 27′ of Mississippi water last year. I went home & made triangular shaped retreiver out of 5/8″ re-bar. It is 6′ wide at the bottom with 7 nasty weighted treble snagging hooks wired on. I went back the next day. Got my outfit on the 1st pass.

If you live close to Clinton, Iowa, why just come and borrow it. Otherwise, re-bar is cheap. The hooks about $1 each I guess. And a welder is handy to get the 3 pieces of re-bar together. If the water is deep AND swift, you better use heavier re-bar.

Good Luck!
