Bob, You're singing my tune. That is exactly what I have done. The Optio S (when I can get it away from my wife) takes all the snaps. Sometimes I have to use my Coolpix 990. Anyway, All the snapshots, family stuff, etc. - anything I would have shot on 35mm is now shot on the little digi's. My 67 is reserved for when I really care about the image quality or a paying job. The 35mm gear is basically all sold.
