I've been pretty happy with my Pentax and since it's at least $100 cheaper than the Olympus, I'm sure I'll stay with it. Just my luck though, the new Optio W30 won't take my old batteries, so I might look around for an unsold Optio W20. I don't see any great improvement between models. Might be a while before I make that investment though. Have to see how bad my withdrawal symptoms are with no camera. -----Original Message----- From: Tord Eriksson [mailto:tord_at_tord.nu] Subject: New camera What do you plan to get to replace the expired camera? My wife is very pleased with her Olympus 725 SW, which since then has been upgraded by the manufacturer. Here she's put in good use: http://foldingkayaks.org/gallery/A-lot-of-Junk%21/P8120407 Just a tip :-)!

Looked around last night at the w20 and w30. I couldnt find the 20 for less than $250. The 30 was about $209. Weird. I covet them both but am building two boats right now and that is where the fun money must keep going for the moment.
