Default my camera is making me cranky.

Okay, so first I must profess my undying love for my Canon Powershot A75.

Yup, seriously - I was still using it up until a few months ago. It's really old and clunky and only 3 megapixels - but I loved it.

But DH and I decided it was time to upgrade to a better point and shoot, we did lots of research and ended up with the SX110 (also a Powershot). I've really been trying to warm up to it, but it just isn't working.

One of my biggest complaints is the delay when you're taking pictures with the flash. It usually takes the flash seven to nine seconds to reload - while I miss the next picture opportunity. I try not to use the flash if I can - but should it seriously take that long to reload when I need it? The A75 took three seconds at most.

My manual hasn't been very helpful, and the guy at the camera store just said we needed a better (I guess he meant faster) card. Is that really true? And is there something else that might help - some setting I might have missed? I'm pulling my hair out here!

Thanks!
