BTW, since we are discussing equipment, I just bought my wife a new camera. Her old P&S had seen hard use and the trip to Africa hadn't helped. I took advantage of the $100 price tag on the Optio I-10. She takes pictures primarily of people in good light (or uses the flash), so the noise issues with the Optio shouldn't matter too much. It came in Friday, although since I had sent it to my office I didn't see it until today. Damn, this thing is tiny. Smaller than my cell phone. I have not idea how good it is yet but it certainly would be no burden in the pocket. I didn't like the "Altoids" Optios since I just couldn't seem to hold them steady. I wonder if SR helps with that problem here. BTW, It doesn't quite fit in the Altoids tin.
