Ahem - my short comment about cameras & lenses -

one should pay special attention towards the quality of lenses.
I did skan some images from the Estonia trip I did last summer with some friends.

Dear "aunt" Ally´s pics had certain darkening towards the corners. She was using the same weatherproof Olympus My2  as I, but with a zoom.  It did not work well, though mine did.

Lessons learnt: they (in general, the manufacturers) are still not able to produce high quality zoom lenses with reasonable prices. 

To me, nothing beats good old Nikonos, pre-set depth of field/ f16 & automatic exposure time. Lenses do count, and almost unbreakable camera bodies.

Cheers,
