You're paying for the glass in that price jump, and it sounds like it
doesn't really add value for ya.

The A75 takes some great friggin photos and is a tremendous value.

I concur. I have the Canon A75 as a second camera and it takes great
photos. I have an SLR, but I use the A75 at social events where I don't
need nor want to carry around my big camera.

The image quality is very good and it has plenty of manual control if
needed, plus all the auto and semi-auto modes. You can make good prints
up to 8x10 with it, and an inexpensive 256meg CF card will hold about
150 photos.
