Whoa, sorry jbud, missed this one. Getting one or the other for free? That's a cool deal!
Tough choice. To me, it's the choice between high zoom/image stablilzation... and high resolution/manual controls.
Hmmmm. Given what I already have, I reckon I'd go for the travel factor and get the S1. A good all around camera, except when the light's low. Easy to travel with, and that big, stable zoom is cool.
That is kind of what I was thinking. I'm not too serious about the cammera thing, but I do like to take pictures of the kid (8 month old boy). Thank god for digital cameras, otherwise I might be broke from developing film. But, when it is free, I want to get the best available camera.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
by the way (it was free from a marketing company that hosts a website that gives you a free item for signing up and getting other people to sign up under you)
also trying for a lower end a75 - but not having as much success.

I'd also go with the SI. I have an A80 that I love, but I find the 3X zoom to be very lacking. I's love the 10X. Either way you end up with a good camera.
I have an A70 and, although the quality and camera rock, the zooming motor could be better. It's really hard to zoom and then tweak the zoom in small increments. It only does it at one speed and you gotta have good reflexes to know when to stop. Not sure if they fixed this in the A95.
Another note, prior to the A70 (and rebel) my 1st camera was an Olympus D460. That camera was amazing at focusing. Frankly, it blows my A70 out of the water. Focusing on the A70 is very hit and miss. Again I'm not sure if this was resolved on the A95.

Thanks a lot for all the information. I do have all of my referrals completed for my offer, but I am waiting on 2 others that signed up under me to be accepted and I can also get a 512mb CF card. If anyone is interested, I can point you to the site, but you'll have to PM or email me. I already tried to post it here once and it was "against the rules and deleted." Oops.
Anyways, I have a A40 also and it really is outdated and the focusing is getting terrible in the sun.

Not true. Your post was moved here because it did not fit in the Flea Market, you were not selling anything.
I have an S1 and like it a lot. I think you only need to decide if you want a long lens or more megapixels. It is a fun camera for me so the long lens and video capability was more important to me than mpx.
Good luck with you deal and congratulations on getting a free camera and card. Let us know when you get it.
An update for you - I received my FREE Canon S1 IS on friday, December 10th. Pretty quick, considering I placed my order on 11/22. My account at the free site then had to be verified as legitimate and that all of my referrals were legitimate. They sent it via UPS on 12/8 and arrived 12/10. It also looks like they used Ecost as their vendor.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me. I know of 2 different sites offering cameras.
