Ken,

LOL! We both know you can't beat the quality of those old classic cameras. My 35MM is a current model Olympus (iS20dlx) which is a point and shoot zoom SLR - it resembles their 600 series digitals. The only problem I have is that unlike yours, I can't manually focus it. My Fuji branded Olympus APS camera is the same way.

Once you have had a digital camera, you are spoiled for life. For example, I am going to take a new photo of myself for the rogues gallery today and upload it on BMP format to Stuart shortly. Since I do so much equipment restoration and sell those items on eBay, I could not shoot the photo - head down to the 1 hour photo, run back, plop it in the scanner and beam it up to the web site.

The kicker with the Canon Powershot 350 is that it offers everything I could need and then some - only lacking zoom (no big deal really) and it is fixed focus with a manual closeup focus (easy when you see what you are doing on the LCD). However the optical quality is distorted a bit and never the best of focus.

Alan
