It's not only about image quality. In fact I just do look for a P&S for indoor docu: - higher ISO (better ISO 3200 than ISO 400) - macro (here the small sensor is a bonus with its DOF range) - wide angle I'm surprised that there's just one camera starting at 24 mm (35mm-equivalent, the Nikon Coolpix 8400). I don't need more that about 2 MP here... It's easy to get a camera with > 400 mm tele, but there's none below 24 mm. Martin
