Thanks, Don.  I may look at Sony next but what I have heard about their
control menus has kept me at bay:  I am an old codger and what I always
liked about my Leicas was their simplicity.....aperture, shutter speed and
ISO (formerly ASA) were basically all you needed to worry about setting and
they were easy to do.  Then I bought an Olympus OMD-whatever it was and I
never could remember how it worked. I understand Sonys are worse.....but
maybe I need to stop in at our remaining local camera store and take a look.

Regards,

--Bob
