And ya. I am so glad I put up the threads and gotten the info I have. It will make the choice a lot easier. More for the buck. My son is just getting a step up from a cell phone, but is also the type of young adult (not a kid anymore) that will sit down and read, study the use of and the camera itself. So I do like the idea of getting him more in a camera. It will fill the little time he has, well.
