Why a sigh? This seems like a nice camera for a lot of people who just want to 
take pictures. Hopefully, it will sell well enough to help fund development of 
our next DSLR :-). Seriously, I bought my daughter a Canon Espio 4 megapixel 
camera to take with her when she studied in France this summer. She knows 
practically nothing about photography and doesn't have time to learn at the 
moment. I loaded it up with a 1 gig flash card, set it to high quality jpeg, 
idiot mode. She came back with hundreds of great photos. It was the perfect 
camera for her. This new Optio looks like it might be the perfect camera for a 
lot of people.
