You're probably right, but if you wait for the newest, best, cheapest digital, you'll never buy anything. In the meantime you could be learning how to use a digital camera and what to do with the files and having fun! >past, I brought along an Olympus Stylus, processed color negative film >at a local 1 hour shop and returned with the prints; I'm thinking of the >Panasonic as a substitute for this approach (of course, I'd bring a >small printer for use in the hotel room). You may find that they are happy just getting to see the photos on the LCD screen. My daughter used the Lumix and Digilux as I used my M's to photograph at an adult day center this morning. The people were so excited to be able to see their photos immediately that I was able to get lots of happy film photos of them.
