I tot the price will change from time to time ma. just like the price of camera. some went down and was quoted $510. Ling got quoted $530. I didn't know price is fix ma. anyway thanks for the reply.
 

just went down cp to check out the feel of A40... feel slighly too plastic and i dun reli like the feel.... but salesman at AP highly recommend this camera as well... anyway i will wait for V2 to come out first
 

True, it is very plastic. I guess they had to compromise on some things to bring down the cost.

But overall, the A40 has more plus points than minus ones. High value+performance/$.

Pros:
Low cost
Has 3x zoom, 2.5 digital zoom
Movie mode with audio
Manual controls for exposure and aperture (not full manual, but better than nothing)
Can add lens adapters - useful for adding standard 52mm filters
Uses CF memory (for me it's a plus point)
Uses AA batteries (for me it's a plus point)
Good picture quality

Cons:
Plastic feel
Small LCD for a camera this size/weight
Lens adapter causes annoying shadow if used with flash

:cool:
