Armat -- I disagree.. Most packaged cameras actually have the price of the charger and rechargeable batteries included... i.e., if you have rechargeable batteries and a charger already, it's better to only get the camera, since you wouldn't need to pay for it anyway (as you have it anyway).. in my case, my CD player had a built-in charger and I already had rechargeable batteries, and didn't need to pay for those again.. so I got the camera only (I had the choice cos I got it from a wholesaler warehouse), and it actually saved me more than 100 Canadian dollars.. Also, most cameras come with the standard 8 mb card, and you have to get another one if you want more.. it doesn't really come with 64 mb or anything like that.. unless you buy the whole thing in a pack for like 500 bucks, which is really pointless -- if I can help it, I'd get my own parts for everything, including assembling computers... Packaged cameras are highly overrated.. My friend has a 4mp Fuji cam, and believe me, the noise it produced in the pictures is just terrible.. Known brands are also highly overrated.. I've had mine for I think half a year now, and it has never given me any headache, and the picture quality is just amazing. Far better than the Fuji or Sony..
Anyhow, bottom line is, I guess, don't be fooled by whatever combos they have in retail shops.
