Yes I did.  The photos and timing data on Imaging Resource are 
useful, but the written reviews are hard to use -- it seems he never 
says anything bad about any camera!  I have to read between the lines 
to see what's NOT said.  DPReview is great, but they don't review 
that many cameras.

I'll look into it.  The more I'm figuring out what I want, the more I 
realize I'll need to spend more than $500.  I'm thinking about the 
Olympus C5060 and the Nikon CP 5400 because they both have a 28mm 
wide-angle ability built in, so I wouldn't have to buy an extra 
wide-angle lens.  And yes, I'd love to be able to do bounce flash 
most of the time.  But external flashes are _expensive_!!  (The one 
for the Olympus is $500 itself!!)
