If you are, like me simple minded (and mean)get a mate to pick up a Toshiba CMOS digital for about$200.- in Tokyo. Fits in your shirt pocket - takes 96 shots if you put a bigger smart card in. No focus - no preview. PMCIA card connection. The instructions you throw away 'cos they are in Nihongo but there is a good Read Me on the CD rom. Oh the programme is great too.
