My wife has had an Optio S, A10 and now A30. All have been just fine for her purposes. One added bonus is the A10, A20, A30 also shoot divx mpeg 4 movies which gives you about 40 minutes of video per 1gb card. Typical quick time or mpeg 2 is about 10 minutes per card.
So my wife shoots video snips as much as she shoots stills with her camera. In fact, video was one of her requirements. There are times when a moving picture and sound do more justice to a scene than a still shot. Especially if kids are involved. Good luck in your choice. -- Bruce Thursday, April 5, 2007, 10:49:00 AM, you wrote: C> On 5/4/07, Steve Desjardins, discombobulated, unleashed: >>Hey folks, >> >>Delurking here for a bit.
