I loved my two 35 mm cameras: an old Yashica with many lenses and a Pentax SLR. I *really* loved my first digital camera, a Kodak LS443, small enough to get me into the habit of carrying it everyday. Alas, it died and I used a Fuji for a few years (fabulous in low light), and now have a Panasonic. Except for the low-light photos (not so good) this camera meets most of my needs and has a fantastic zoom capability. jan.hurst@insightbb.com
