Its high ISO performance is not stellar but it is tiny and has the same controls disposition of any DSLR you may be accustomed to. Great handling, light, metal body, handy wideangle zoom, chace of getting an electronic VF or to fit an optical one, good battery life, etc. Also do not forget to give the water resistent Olympus (770? 790?) a look, they look (on paper) very interesting: no protruding lens, submersible up to 3 meters (? feet), and a very important function for the traveler, shock resistance. ed El 01/12/2007, a las 00:18, GREG LORENZO escribi?: > My daughter Melissa is planning to spend spring break 2008 in Paris > and wants a digital camera.
