I'll check out the Sony and the Canons. I've got to check on ease
of DL the pics to her puter. I like the ones that come with a
'docking station' (?) .


You might want to also ask Old Thom what he got. I think he has a Kodak
with a docking station and he's pretty happy with it. Kodak has been
getting very serious about taking the digital market in the US and has
been making big improvements. I do think you should avoid HP, Olympus
and Nikon. They are all currently lagging.
