David,
Did you have any problems with the pictures becomeing corrupted on the
card? I bought a A50, but the pictures all became "incompatible jpeg
format" after a certain amount of time. I had to send the camera back,
but hope this is just a bad camera, not a known problem.
>The canon A series does have video out PAL in europe and NTSC in N.A.
>The cable is included, but the pics look far better on screen than
>the TGV since they are scaled on the TV.

>I have an A50, great camera.
