RE: My digital movie camera
The focal length and the extreme macro mode make prints up to 8x10 possible with little or no cropping.

Re: My digital movie camera
No put down intended, Bill. I thought it was a neat camera when you showed it to me. Bill Owens wrote: Graywolf mentioned my propensity for liking the Optio MX.

Re: My digital movie camera
I still use mine also. I was sorry to see them abandon this particular form factor. On the other hand I wonder if they would have been able to fit the shake reduction mechanism into that long narrow body.
