Update 1: If you plan on coming to my hometown of New York City, New York, then one of the things you'll want to bring with you (obviously) is a camera. Many tourists to New York ring the SD870IS because of it's versatile features and ability to take sharp, crisp image pictures in any environmental condition, indoor and outdoor. So, if you're from say, Brazil, you won't have to worry about haze or smog affecting picture clarity and creating blurs.
