Rated as the best 35mm compact camera. No other compact has such
a fast zoom lens.

Not sold in the U.S. of course. Buy it at any camera store in Japan.


That looks like an interesting camera. Have you shot with one? Just
wondering how the lens qulaity is compared to something like the non-zoom
Oly,pus stylus Epic (which I find compares favorable to many 50mm SLR
lenses)

Digital's the way to go. Canon IXUS is sturdy & water-resistant. Yes,
get a 1G card for a huge number of photos. When you get to KL or Spore,
you'll simply burn them into CDs, then off you go again.

Actually I would suggest several smaller cards instead of on 1G card. That
way, if you lose one card (or it gets damaged) you haven't lost all your
pictures. I think the portable HD is a good idea and (a better idea if you
can swing it) is to find a cyber cafe that will burn your pics onto CD.
