Camera & program for Ebay/Gunbroker, etc?

Program

I have a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS "Digital Elph", and its operating system is simple enough. It's menu-based (maybe newer cameras use a touchscreen?), but it's very easy to navigate and use.

The camera is plug-and-play under Windows via USB, so file transfer to a PC is simple. You don't have to load or use any Canon software unless you want to.

Camera

I would only rate the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS as 'OK' for a camera and probably not up to your requirements. I doubt there is a 'pocket camera' that good, if only because you can only do so much with such a small lens.

Optically, I'd also like to have a much better camera and will be interested to see if others can offer more specific advice.

I've only looked at a few digital SLRs, but pretty much the only thing I can say about them is that I would probably stick with Canon based on my experience (reliability, etc.) and their reputation.

I would just get a bigger one next time.
