John's still "wasting his time" by trolling wtih indirect responses.

The P&S is indeed three years old, but it is still doing its job just
fine, so I have no particular reason to replace it.

The reason why I mentioned its age at all is to dislose that I'm
simply not actively in the marketplace right now researching every new
bleeding edge feature, so a few vendors with something different are
expected to have been overlooked.

Yet I have been still paying attention well enough to those changes
that I consider most important. For example, I've already recognized
that some P&S vendors have dramatically improved shutter lag.

However, based on some of the features that my old P&S has that newer
P&S's do not, I'm not in any hurry to replace it.

How about an old P&S with continuously variable zoom speed like my
Olympus Camedia 730, or my even older VHSC video cam which works
pretty much the same way.

Hello,

That's what I do, too. I have quite a gamut of digital cameras --
"keychain" types, subcompacts, compacts, "super zooms" and one DSLR.


Cordially,
