Check out the camera they're using!

Yahoo! News Photos: "AFP - Sat Jul 30, 2005 - An Iraqi man has his image taken for security purposes at a checkpoint at the eastern entrance of the western city of Fallujah on July 25. The city which saw heavy battles last fall is still under tight security by Iraqi and US troops.(AFP/Mohammed Khodur)"


Is that a Canon A70 being used to take photos in Iraq for their new ID cards? You bet!

Photos like this help confirm my suggestion to use cameras like these simple, rugged Canons when going off to faraway foreign lands. HP, Fuji and Olympus also have reliable, simple digital camera models that use good ol' standard AA batteries. (Note: You should still have and use rechargables, but it's nice to have something to fall back on when recharging isn't an easily accomplished task.)


As long as we're talking cameras here, you might as well read the full review on the new Canon S2 IS digital camera at DPReview.com. A very nice, but not small camera.

Drooling yet? Remember... friends and family week starts TODAY - 7/31 - at Staples in Beloit and that means 12% off the Canon S2 IS if you're friend or family to me. (And promise to let me play with it when you get one. J/K!)
