Good point, Sony. But then, other then occasionally fending for one's 
life, keeping the camera relatively intact is a primary concern for 
the Photo Journalist. Having the little Ricoh in my pocket let me 
both participate in and document the event, without worrying about 
snagging a camera strap on the branch of the next tree banging to the 
ground with me attached.

Come to think of it - that's why I *don't* fly the aircraft and shoot 
from it at the same time!  That's when I want a full-time pilot so I 
can be the full-time photographer. But having a camera in my pocket 
let's me be at least a part-time photographer ALL the time!
