Hard to go wrong with the Fujifilm F30/F20 Great image quality, long battery life, exceptionally low-noise (for a P&S). Downsides: no optical viewfinder, uses XD memory cards... The F20 can be had for about $140 if you shop around, or the F30 if you like more manual controls can be found for about $270. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org I am riding in the MS-TRAM this summer.
