Check out an F20 or F30 from Fujifilm.... you'll be surprised at the speed with which this little thing operates. Good color, quick power-up, fast focusing and.... generally a nice camera to use. If you're fine with "program mode" photography, the F20 can be had for about $140. F30 (with Av and Tv modes) is $199 at NewEgg right now (just ordered one). Great for the "quickie" shots and puts the image quality of an iPaq or Treo to shame. Really. examples from my first month of using one: http:// charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2007/f20_january/ Well.... a bit off-topic but I'm surprised to see that my desire for a K10D is diminished a bit by the fact that my most-carried camera lately is a little P&S.... Maybe I'll get over it. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org I am riding in the MS-TRAM this summer.
