Re: ten new cameras

[Bruce Rubenstein]

If you look at the cut-away, you would see that the camera is "flat" only with the lens stored. To make it pack flat the center element group is moved out of the light path so the front and rear groups can be brought closer together. I wonder what sort of alignment can be maintained after that camera is opened and closed 1,000 times.

Me. I'd like something along the lines of a Canon G3 with Pentax design philosophy. I'm really interested in the image quality of the Optio S. With the flat front of the case, a piece of cling film printed with any type of cigarette or small package labels would make the camera almost invisible for street shooting�and the size can't be beat.

I'm willing to bet that with that camera I could start taking pictures of my 6 year old son without having him stick out his tongue, rolling his eyes or otherwise attempting to spoil the shot. ;-)
