Along with my EOS-1D, I have a Casio QV-3000EX 3.3mp P&S camera which takes great pictures and fits in my pocket. It is 3 years old and Casio tells me the side door covering the USB, AC adapter and video jacks is "out of production". Half the cameras I see on ebay of this model have this part missing because the hinges break easily. So much spare parts and customer support. John Lovda
