I bought mine as an "interim" camera, one I'd carry with me always, Mr. Everready. Well, heck, I also used it most of the time (surprise!) and found there were very, very few situations that could or would fool the exposure meter, and I got well-exposed shots99% of the time, and the color is great! I have a fine, compact 5 MP camera I seldom use, primarily because the S4 does _such_ a good job. It's far less bulky and less intrusive. That may say more about me, than the camera, but... The only thing is, it weighs little more than a roll or two of postage stamps, and as such is subject to human shake and jitter. Fact is, if you put this camera on a tripod, I challenge you to tell the difference between it's output and a larger P&S or DSLR of the same sensor size. I doubt I'll ever get rid of this camera, like I've traded and bought and sold it's sisters over the years... This one will be the anchor for any and all others! Yeah, I do like the Optio S4! <g> keith whaley ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
