[Killietalk] Phish Photos

[Wright Huntley <whuntley at verizon_net>]

Hi,

For those hopelessly hooked on P&S cameras, take a look at the new 
Pentax offering, the Optio 550.

With $50 rebate it isn't horribly out of range for many. ($439-50 = $389)

It has most of the manual controls of a pro-sumer camera combined with 
shirt-pocket size. I'm impressed with battery life, IR remote (good for 
 available-light fish pics), 5X zoom and general usefulness.

The lens is too slow, so you may need a good external slave flash for 
most fish pics. Oh well, can't have *everything* in a 
postage-stamp-sized camera. :-)

Worth a look to see if it does what you want. See the review at 
dpreview, too:
