I have gotten my wife an Optio S40. This thing is tiny. I was expecting something the size of a 35 mm. point-and-shoot. She'll be able to leave this in her purse and have it everywhere.

She has my old ZX 50, but hasn't been carrying it on travels because she thinks it's too big and heavy (!). So last spring she had a chance to drive across Canada, and went and bought a crummy Fuji disposable. Somewhere in Alberta she saw a white buffalo, so of course it is just a white speck on the crummy negative. Then this fall she spent a week in England and did the same thing. That was the last straw. I had to get her a decent, small camera.

It's a very attractive little camera. What a pity it can't get on the shelves at Walmart. It would easily stand out. They would sell by the truckload.

She doesn't know yet, so I have a week to play with it myself.

Joe
