Yep, I got a new camera. Here is the one I picked. I really wanted to get away from the small point-n-shoot and get back to a SLR but couldn't afford the digital SLR. This is about as close as I could come. It's not the best one but I like it.

FujiFinePix S9100
Here's (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2007_reviews/s9100.html) some more pics of it and a comprehensive review.
I can't wait to try it on an outing and see how many dust orbs I get. With the flash a greater distance from the lense it should perform better. Additionally I have the option to add a hot-shoe or off camera slave flash.

Darn it, Jim. You know what that means. Monkey see. Monkey do. Now I will have to have one too.

Well I can sure tell you where you don't want to buy it from. Not a pleasant experience. They promised things that I didn't get and I ended up spending more than I planned. Go figure, huh! Anyway the company on the internet to stay away from is:
WiseTronics
They are so bad I refuse to post a link here.
I love the camera though. It uses either the CF memory card (like my Canon did) or the xD card like your Olympus. 4 AA batteries so the rechargeables are the way to go.
Of course I'll bring it when we come down next weekend. :)
