C'mon, Paul - lighten up - I was just having some fun with the concept of "simple mode." You've become a real "old fart" of late ;-)) taking things much to seriously. It wasn't so long ago that you seemed far more light hearted and loose.

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. > Paul > > > > <SIGH> Just another toy camera .... I see it has a "Simple Mode."
