b&w with Minalta SR1 about 1965 in Geneve NY.<div></div>

I just made a decision based partly on Consumer Reports and PCWorld articles: the new Olympus C-5500.AA bats or rechargeable NiMet Halide,5.1 megpixls, 5X OPTICAL zoom, big viewing screen, pop-up flash when you want it, many options for shooting: different scenes, automatic, several of your own setups, aperature or exposure or manual, size of pics in pixles, +++.(The CD manual is 192 pages) One problem for me was the little XD cards that Kodak, Olympus and Fuji now use required new expensive cards and perhaps a new card reader. I like it a lot for a sub-professional camera. (I started with Minalta film SLRs then a Argus (yes,really) 5mp digital camera that took fine shots but was poorly made and had few options. It broke, so I picked the Olympus for $240 form 17StPhoto. Good Luck. Larry Wackerman
