Priorities
 
I tend to like Nikons also. Currently have the Coolpix 5000, but I
think
we'll be getting something different in the next 6 mos. I like the
articulating arm, but I don't like the finger placement on the grip.


Jonathan, you might want to consider a Nikon DSLR or a different brand
of P&S camera. Much of the Coolpix internals are made by Sanyo and they
lag seriously compared to the competition. I owned the top of the
line..and awful...Coolpix 8800. Like all of the line it suffered from a
weak AF module and shutter/buffer lag. For better cameras look to
Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, Sony and Casio/Pentax for the subcompacts.
Nikon is still failing to match the competition at present.

Anybody else notice what bobs priorities are in a boat?
'fit and finish', swim platform', interior room', etc...

I keep telling you it's not a swim platform. Beneteau patterned the
35s5 after the Colgate 26. The "platform" is for the instructor.
