Hei Br. I had one of those small and powerfull digitals. One thing made
me nuts: the shutter lag.

It´s take a picture today, hope you can get it tomorrow. 

To take pictures of kids it´s impossible!

Sold it two month latter..

Oh, and there was also the DOF factor. Too much DOF with that 7-21mm
lens.

Peter,

In my experience a digital camera reverses film speed. I had thought
that if 
I set my Oly 5050 digital to ISO 200 or 400, I could breezily shoot EL,
just 
as I do with my M3 and a fast Leica 50mm lens. It didn't work that way.
With some experimentation I discovered that I was able to get good EL
shots 
with the digital by setting its ISO to Auto or 64. Digitals nowadays -- 
whatever you pay for them -- need a lot of both light and battery power
to climb up 
the Herter Driffeld curve -- if such a graph exists for a digital
sensor. And 
avoid using shutter preferred mode. Use P instead, and let the digital's

algorithms do the work. The 5050 is about the best of the prosumers out
there now. 
But this is just one man's opinion.
