Kathy, I sure wish you would buy it and leave your other stuff at home like Chip! Then maybe you could give me some advice! I am seeing great stuff out of this camera from people on dpreview.com, but they speak a different language than me. I'm a point and shoot girl. Just went and bought a tripod today, but the darned thing only goes to 41". Not good when I took it out to the garage to try to capture my many Canada Geese that live in my yard. I was getting tree tops.
