Thanks for your comments and links.

I think there are as many opinions about the good and bad of a product 
as there are people to write them. :-)  What I have noticed is that 
negative reviews, especially this one, dwell on the points where 35mm 
film SLR cameras are better but don't mention even one point where 
digicams are better.

Extensive review! 12 bit raw but you have to buy extra software.



Joe,

Fortunately vacation trip photos are something I rarely worry about. 
90% of the time I need to take one or two photos and get them on the 
computer ASAP. Film is a real pain for this sort of work. A digicam 
should be perfect.
