camera envy
Oooh, I've got the camera-buying itch. I've been happy with my Olympus C-740 for years now; I believe I got it in 2002. 3.2MP was plenty, and the 10X optical zoom was awesome.
But it's showing its age. I didn't think the difference in pixels up to 4MP, or even 8, was worth worrying about. But 12MP! That's 3000 by 4000 dots in the photo, twice as many as mine. And I really want something with less shutter lag. And now I see that Olympus has come out with the SP 590 UZ, with an impossible 26X optical zoom. Gets pretty good reviews. Could be had for not much over $300 (less than mine 8 years ago.) Heavier, of course, it weighs about a pound, and sure won't fit in a shirt pocket. But ... WANT!
