Morning Tanya,

I might check out the Olympus SP 550 UZ which has been out for 4 or 5 months now and when
it was announced I had a customer who really wanted one (and pre-paid) so we put the order
in .....then it arrived and she was, as you folks say, 'chuffed' ...for one day and then she brought
it back because her computer could not open the "raw files" plus the menu was difficult to navigate

So she was refunded her money...and, upon my return to work ( 2 days later) I
sussed out her "raw file" problem and was willing to spend time with her working on the menu -- which is a stretch and kinda like going swiming with a cement thong

-- but she declined
the offer because NOWshe didn't like the camera

In the end, we sold it to (either) a Yank or a Brit (who were in town for a week) and didn't hear a word
back from them

So what all this (my) previous crap is supposed to mean ...."what ????? are ya nuts
