The optimist in me keeps saying that the fact that my client hasn't done a d@mn thing since I was last here nearly three weeks ago is just providing me with job security and loads of miles and points. The pessimist says I'm doomed to a career of working here every two or three weeks for the rest of my life unless I quit my job and let someone else come deal with this mess. Right now the pessimist side is winning. I'm rather :mad: right now.

Will se be commuting to College Station or do they have an extension campus near yall?
Hey Mackieman, she could get Silver Elite on CO with only 7.5 AUS-IAH-CLL-IAH-AUS trips, Gold with only 15, and Platinum with 22.5 if she decided to commute between Austin and College Station by plane. :D |

Bread and milk. Buy speggettios and make sure you have a manual can opener. Then you're safe if you get standed for more than 5 hours. On one news broadcast a few years ago a reporter asked one shopper why she was buying bread and milk and the woman looked at the reporter like she was some dumb a$$ and said "Because you're supposed to.:rolleyes:"

The #1 rule of the Olton Hall chance snow prediction. If the weather people are talking about a major snow event several days in advance, you will either get a small flurry, a lot of rain, or nothing at all. It's almost like mother nature goes "Oh crap, they are on my little plan. I won't give them snow then."

For similar reasons I find Panasonic's decision to go to microSD for their new cameras questionable. No real speed available on those cards. :td: |

I wouldn't call the cameras you are looking at as pricey. That Canon problem was from a few years ago btw. It's hard to make a recomendation since the two cameras you are looking at are different in size. I would go with the one that is the size you want. The Sony is much larger. Sony has many cameras in the same size as the Panasonic. The true test of a camera is how good the photo looks on your computer. In the past Sony's have had a slight blue tint to them. Not really an issue as any photo program can easily remove that tint. The Panasonic's with the Leica lenses have very sharp and clear photos but in the past some colors, particularly orange and yellow have been muted. Thanks for the tips....since they do seem pretty similar, I feel like I'm leaning a little towards the Panasonic.

I'd agree with this. Size is crucial. I've left my DSLR at home lately in favor of a small point-and-shoot. I am partial to Canon cameras, by the way.

I have had the Canon issue happen to me as well, most recently this summer in HKG. I ended up buying a new one.

Looks like a very nicely full-featured camera to me. I've never really looked in detail at any Sonys, simply because their insistence on sticking to a proprietary memory card format and not going with something more standard like CF or SD leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

Huh. First time I've heard of that problem and I've been a heavy Powershot user for years now. I've never had a problem with a Canon, including one that got dropped about 10 feet onto a hard floor once. But it does sound like it has been an issue for some owners.

That's because Sony bought out Minolta and realized that they needed a real option for the pro-ish line that they are trying to run. The consumer models are still memory stick only and I hate them for it.
