The Olympus E330 - which you can now pick up for under $400 - really solves 
the OldFart problem. The swivelling Live View LCD let's you use it just like 
a TLR - no bending required. Stick the 11-22 2.8-3.5 on it, and you've got 
the equivalent of 22-44 - and use whatever camera you love for the rest of 
your shooting.

I must admit that, as I age, rather than squatting, I find myself  
bending at the waist and shooting almost upside down more often.

Though I expect that more of my problem is breathing around a beer  
gut;^)

Reason for perspective mention: People, especially kids, have much  
more power and interaction with viewer when seen eye-to-eye.

Keep up the wonderful work -- and photography.
