Hello Forum!

I need to buy a digital camera that allows me to annotate the pictures with a short recorded voice description of what they are.

I have read at: http://www.powershot.com/powershot2/pro70/main.html that the Canon has a "Built-in Microphone: WAVE format recorded during playback "

Also: http://www.clubphoto.com/news/ir_reviews/canon/ps_pro70.php says "Microphone button - Record sound to annotate a picture, when in either record or playback, mode. (Must push back-panel "set" button simultaneously to activate recording function.) "

But I still have questions:

Does anybody know if this actually works?

How long can your recorded clip actually be?

If you have one of these cameras, Do you find it useful?

Do you only get to hear your clip when you have uploaded all the images/audio to your PC. ie does the camera have a speaker?

What other camera's might I consider if I require this feature?

Thanks Ben
