==================


Thanks for continuing to remind us.  I keep forgetting important facts  like 
this.  
 
By the way, I got to play with the Oly 330 the other day, and while I found  
the old fashioned Nikon style flip around LCD a real nice touch, the 
viewfinder  was pretty dreadful. I presume all that info on the LCD can be 
turned off,  
at least I hope so.  The whole camera has a definite plasticy feel;  maybe 
with another lens it might have better heft.    

I know that pretty is as pretty does, but I'm still looking for the digital  
that will change my mind.
 

Regards,  
Sonny
