Just a data point for you. Last week's UK Sunday Times 'Doors' section (technical and internet) had an article by a couple who had used digital cameras to record their trip to Burkina Faso for a forthcoming Bradt Travel Guide. They confess right from the beginning that they are inexperienced photographers; their cameras were a Casio Exilim Pro P&S, which they didn't rate very much and a Pentax *istD which them seemed quite keen on.
The web page is here: http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,19510-1705825_1,00.html Although they don't mention the Pentax until right at the end of the web version, the printed version contains a large picture of the *istD and a couple of their pictures for the guide taken on it. Chris
