A quick update: We're absolutely loving the Canon S95 so-far. No matter how hard i try to take a bad picture, it always comes out nicely: We were christmas-tree shopping and our 2-year daughter was running around the trees in the store like crazy. It was toward the end of an overcast day and the...

i care a lot about size: something I can fit in pants pocket, without too much...
darn. i had started a thread in open gear forum and i got logged out. mmust. re-think. mmust. re-type. ARRH. :) I'm liking this place though, even better that it's vB4!
