Half the problem, BD.

The kids might still look at me, being up higher, than the camera,
even if it is low down.

Good point though, comparing to a TLR.

I looked long and hard at the Olympus models before I picked up this
camera for my trip. The lenses you mention (11-22) weren't part of the
package and I couldn't figure out if the kit lenses were what I would
like. So I went with a Nikon D80.

The $400 price tag leaves the door open for alternatives, have to admit it.
