Are you going to blow the images up past 8x10's? Do you need full control on "grab shots"? Olympus has 2 new Stylus digital cameras, the 300 and 400, 3mp and 4mp cameras. They are the first advertised "weatherproof" digital cameras. Prices are $399 and $499. Leaves extra $$$ for the bigger XD cards you will want. The cameras are quick too, none of the slow lag times anymore. Cameras are small, just like the 35mm Stylus line. To stay on topic, Leica has the new 3mp camera coming soon. Or consider Canon's S230 3mp camera. Very compact. Do you really want to spend $1000 on a digital compact that as we speak is in the planning of being discontinued?
