Answer 1

... also, the first link is for a book.

If you click on the green square by my name, you'll find a bunch of links in my profile information. Two of those are for Steve's Digicams and DPReview. Those are the best camera review sites on the internet. They should list most (if not all) of the models you're considering, complete with the specs, sample pictures, and a separate page with their conclusions (including all the pros and cons of each camera).

Not having done the research myself, I'd lean towards the Canon. There's generally not a lot of difference when you look at the prints from various compact cameras, but Nikon point & shoots are often a bit weak (although I'm a big fan of their dSLR cameras and use one myself) whereas Canon is strong across the board. I suspect the A550 will be the camera to beat.

Answer 2

None of the above. I didn't see a camera there that's a good deal for the money. Here's a better idea: Buy a Fujifilm Finepix F10. It's only $150 and a lot better than any of those.
