What you need you, boy, is an E-20. Just the thing for portraits and weddings. Look Ma, no scans! --Mike the digital enabler P.S. A very brief review of the Pentax Optio 330 which I finally got to use yesterday. It's TINY. I mean it makes most point-and-shoots look Brobignagian (hope I spelled that right...don't want to offend any of you who happen to be from Brobignag). It's slightly smaller and slightly thicker than a pack of cigarettes. For a camera, it looks smaller than that. Weentsie. Did I mention tiny? Two observations: I wondered if it would be comfortable to hold, and for me it's VERY comfortable. And I have big hands. You sort of pinch it in between your right thumb and forefinger, and rest the bottom of the camera on your curled ringfinger. That sounds more awkward than it is. It's got a teensy-weensy little lens clad in shiny metal--"cunning." You've got to be careful to keep your left hand from covering the flash, but overall I found it fell to hand very nicely--better than average and much better than I expected. Second, I have no clue what people are talking about when they say it doesn't focus in low light. I was in a not-very-brightly-lit store interior and it focused fine. In fact, generally it's faster to focus than my Olympus. Third (okay, so I thought of another) it's a very easy camera to use. I swear you can tell the difference between digital cameras made by camera companies and cameras made by electronics companies--the former are generally just better laid out and more ergonomic. Not for nothing all those years of figuring out how things work best. Anyway, as I was saying, this is NOT an all-purpose digicam--it's a shirtpocket camera that you'd take along anywhere--a note-taker, a snapshot camera. It's very simple to operate, comfortable to use, and quite nicely built--it looks cool. Mikey liked it. Back to cleaning my office!
