Re movie mode, for what's it's worth, consider this: I was just in the Boston area at the peak of cranberry harvest. Took lots of photos with my Olympus C-8080 (8 megapixel "rangefinder"), but one scene just could not be captured with a still photo. High wind had blown all the cranberries to one side of the pond. The choppy waves met the packed floating berries and turned into something that looked like undulating red syrup on a very large scale. I switched the C-8080 to movie mode and panned with the wave action for about 30 seconds of really strange cranberry video. Just before leaving Boston, I did a digital projector show for our hosts and several guests. They liked the Coast Guard Falcon jet flight and all the New England autumn color. But the cranberry wave movie was the hit of the whole show! So don't knock movie mode! Gary Todoroff (Tree LUGger) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
