I'm really happy with mine. Its nice to have a camera with me at all times. I was out shooting with my 35mm gear this weekend, and I put the optio S in my camera bag and couldn't find it LOL. I've only had it for a month, and I'm up to 900 images on it. All snapshots, but it will allow me to almost always shoot black and white now :) Actually, I'm shooting more film now than before I got the S. - Chris -- Chris Murray /"\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN http://apeman.org/ X AGAINST HTML MAIL Cell: 604.861.8307 / \/ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
