Just as a FYI, in case you didn't know, you can get screw-on adapters that
expand the capabilities of the lens. Nikon makes a fisheye, wide-angle,
and two telephoto (2x and 3x) adapters for the 990's built-in lens. And
if slow AF on a p&s is a huge issue, a couple of Canon's p&s's have a
"RT" ("Real Time") mode that physically focuses the lens when you press
the shutter button halfway, much like an SLR does. It also locks the
focus in, of course, but when you press it the rest of the way the shot is
instantaneous.
I'm not back online yet, as my phone won't be connected until Friday or
Monday, but I'm just checking mail from the university.
