Darren, Good for you! Enjoy using it and know it's not obsolete, just superseded. As someone who started with an ME, waited for new features then got the Super Program, then passed on the 1st version of autofocus (SF1's) and bought a new PZ-1, that's new cameras in '76, '83, and '91, 3 new cameras in 15 years. New cameras intro cycle is a bit disarming. Prices have gone up a lot, and a desirable new feature set seems to come along every 18-24 months. Is this all a plot to separate me from my money? >From a realistic point of view, I still have my 6MP *ist DS because it takes fine pictures, and works well with flash. At least, my hobby is not golf at $100+ per round. Regards, Bob S.
