Humm.this is a lot to consider and fine advice from the actual users.  That is the advice that counts.  I will take her to look and see which are there.  We are not looking for a compact camera but not too large.  How the camera can perform is most important and to be able to shoot raw is a plus.

Fred..thanks for the input but that camera is out of my price range, nice as it looks! : )        Tom
