Yeah! Flying to New Zealand on sunday early in the morning. I'm so excited, long distance flight with my friends.
In anticipation, I bought some Sanyo 2700mAh rechargable batteries($4.70 for 1, I bought 4) and a 8GB SanDisk SDHC Ultra II 15mb/s memory card. The best thing? the memory card was only $43 dollars(the shop next door was selling it for $60 dollars=X). I did my research and found out that no point getting the 2x more expensive extreme edition or the 3x more expensive ducati edition. So yeah, my humble powershot now has a long battery life and can shoot 2500 photos before the space runs out.
So yah, will stop here:) enjoy your after-o-levels freedom!
