I appreciate the offer, Bob, but there's no need. I am convinced that the SV is a great camera. I'm just trying to decide if I need such a camera. If I were to buy one now, it would be between the SV and the WP. The SV wins hands down in terms of functionality, but the WP is "sexier", and I also kind of like the idea of having a rugged, splashproof camera.
