No need to apologize. The US$399 is a good price indeed. It costs
NIS2000 in the cheapest place in Israel I know of. On the other hand, an
Olympus C720 sells in the same place for NIS1900 (US$430) and has a 8x
optical zoom. So - you have had a good deal indeed.
Both work as storage devices with Linux USB, which is an advantage.
But now that you are working with a digicam, start learning GIMP... ;-)
Truth be told, my recent interests has moved me away from P&S cameras. I
am pining for a Canon 10D now ;-)... With two primes and two zooms.
So, with my birthday rolling round soon, anyone interested may
contribute to the "Get Marc A Canon 10D" fund ;-)...
