B - Well yea, you only got a 17 minute life-cycle on most computer gear. Just enough time to pay for it and get it to your car. Just noticed I didn't say what BSteph said ... I'd probably wait the 2-3 months for one it. Even if you end up getting the Dimage or S602, there prices will probably drop just before/when the S7000 comes out. Might save a couple hundred (and that's enough of a savings for a 1G CF or Microdrive). :) Also, heard something interesting today. Sigma is reducing the price of their SD9 D-SLR to $999. Looks like they finally realized their product is not mature enough to play in the same price field as the Canon EOS D60/10D, Nikon D100 and Fuji Finepix S2 Pro. But with only a 100 - 400 ISO range, they'd have to drop it a couple hundred more before I'd get one. -=>Donald
