I am actually thinking of the Optio MX4 for taking macro movies. This takes the SD cards and because I am looking at movies I would buy large capacity cards. I may have to invest in one of those adaptors. I've seen a few things in the *istDS that I would like to see as firmwear upgrades in the *istD, like histogram view as default in preview mode and defining the startup zoom magnification, but I'm going to stick with the *istD for now. >What ultimately stops me though is that I am looking for the istD to >become my backup and my primary to have a larger sensor and better feel. >I pick up my MZ-S to feel joy, but pick up the istD to take pictures. This is my plan exactly. I have situations where 6 Mpixels is the right amount, but there are times I would like a bit more - 10 or 12. I'm keeping one MZ-S for film until it's no longer available, then it will go on display in my camera cabinet. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
