I agree with the comments about how nice and unobtrusive they are ( and quiet ) -- great theater cameras. On another note, I apologize about posting the picture. I am still somewhat new on this list and when another person (I forget who) posted a picture on the list the same evening I thought it was OK -- but then afterward remembered seeing some thread about pictures on the mailing list being a no-no about a month ago. I will from now on just make a web page -- once I learn how to do it ( a new year's resolution -- learn how to put up a web page). Mark Hammons
