Hello Dave,

 Thanks for the additional information. It gives me a lot more confidence in
the 3 Megapixel market.
 I'm currently considering the Sony Mavica CD-400, but haven't convinced
myself to make the purchase. I'll definitely take a closer look at the Fuji S602
now that I've seen actual photos from it.
 Thanks again for the information.

Later,
Trent

Hello Dave,
 Do you mind to give me an insight on what camera you used at the
Liebowitz steamup? The macro photo of the smokebox door really sparked
an interest since that seems to be where my digital camera falls short
of acceptable. Good, clear, high resolution close-ups photos are
becoming more a part of my work than ever so a camera upgrade is in the
near future. Thanks in advance.
Later,
Trent
trent:

i just wrote out a long explanation of how i got the camera and then 
deleted it. here's all you probably want to know:

*it's a fuji s602.

*it has 6x optical zoom and macro capability (focuses down to three inches).

*it has manual (as well as auto) shutter speed and aperture.

*it has all the features of a six-megapixel, but is only captures 
three megapixels (this is the tradeoff).

*santa paid around $500 for it (same features and six megapixels 
would be $1500-$2k).

yes, indeed. as mike mentioned, it has an awesome macro capability, 
but i am still just learning how to use it. somewhere in my dim, dark 
past i actually worked as a professional photographer but put the 
camera down in 1974 and didn't pick one up again until four or five 
years ago. i still shoot like the college-impoverished photographer i 
once was -- miserly with test shots even though i no longer have to 
buy film or chemistry (i remember having contests with my friends to 
see who could get the most 35mm frames off of a 100-foot roll of 
Tri-X).

Oh, yeah, that's another thing: the camera came with a factory 
setting of ISO 200 and I still think in ISO 400 ... after saturday, i 
think i'll pick up those two stops and see what the quality is like.
