I've got a 330RS. I don't know if the 230 is still available where you live, but in Europe it has been replaced by the 330GS. As the 330GS has 3MP I would go for it (it has many improvements, too). You won't see a difference between 2MP and 3MP at 4x6. I didn't make a 5x7 with 2MP, but I think, that you will see a difference here between 2MP and 3MP. With 3MP 5x7 look fine. Regarding the decision between 330RS and 330GS you can't make something wrong. The RS is more expensive but it is smaller and offers more optional equipment (underwater case etc.). But the 330GS has the same (or even better) picture quality and some interesting features (auto- bracketing e.g.). Honestly - the GS offers more for its price. But the RS might be more attractive...;-) >I hope this doesn't qualify as buying myself a gift, I swear, I won't >touch it for at leas tthree months! LOL. Better buy two... Regards, Heiko
