does anyone on here do any HDR stuff?? i've always been curious to see that in action sometime and see someone do it first hand.  I've played around with it some and have some good books on the subject. It's pretty easy to get the captures as long as you bracket to include the entire tonal range and keep the aperture consistent so the depth of field doesn't shift on you. There's quite a range of software available to "tone-map" an image for print or display purposes and that's where it can get tricky. I'll give you a shout the next time I do one if you're interested.

Love it. It has traveled all over and only one issue. The best part is it's that it is waterproof. It was in the rain in Le Mans and still took good pictures of all of the normal travel spots. Took it snorkeling in Mexico, and have taken it skiing... Never have to worry about. They have a bunch of settings to adjust for all the different lighting/activities. Pictures are good, and it does ok videos, for a small camera, for those times you just don't want to carry a video camera too. The only issue I have had was that I scratched the screen sometime last year, and it is hard to see from the screen in the sun (even before the scratch). If I lost it, I would go out and buy another one without a second thought.

I hear the canon SD880IS is pretty top notch for a point and shoot.

Yep. Glock 22. As far as the camera, I haven't even looked at them yet. May do that tomorrow.

I've had a Lumix FX9 for a few years and love it for what it is. It's about 2" x 3.5" so I can throw it in my pants pocket if I wanted to and not even notice it's there.

One of the other nice things about my particular Lumix is the the almost non-existent shutter delay. That was one of my requirements when I bought it. It had to be tiny and NO FREAKING shutter delay. dpreview is a great site for camera shopping. Very in-depth reviews.
