Now, what was the purpose of this thread again?
Lois is a sweet gal. She sent us a pic of her cat taken with the digital...oh, not by email. She doesn't do that. She goes to her local camera shop where they make prints for her, then she sends them by snail mail. But what the hell, she's in the digital age.

A good point was made earlier...it's the tiny credit card size with impossible to handle controls that I hate...next time I'm at COSTCO or near a camera store, I might check out the SLR's. They may be more familiar to me. Oh...my film SLR stuff is 70's vintage. The only electronics on them is the built in light meter...nothing "auto" like focus, f stops, shutter speed. I understood film...
