Thanks, Juan.

BTW, Juan and Lon rhyme.  Even though the spelling doesn't
indicate such.

I have it. It isn't bad at all for a $160 camera. The main image
quality problem is I think the jpeg compression--when combined with
the sensor noise, it can make some nasty artifacts that are hard to
get rid of, even with NeatImage or Noise Ninja. I wish these cameras
had a raw mode, it seems to me like it would be a free option to
offer.

I used the Optio to do some street shooting a while back. It's slow so
you have to try to anticipate when to press the shutter, which adds
quite a bit of randomness in the process.

Here is a Flickr set of some pictures I shot. Processed to B&W and
cropped to 3:2 aspect. You can see the full res images by clicking on
"all sizes" on each picture page:

I know the Optio60 ain't got SMC.  My guess
is that it is sluggish and slow.  JPG only, etc.
But it's small, has an optical viewfinder, and
might be good enough to produce nice CRT-only
shots.  Cheap, too.  Comments?
