I'll look into it.  Are you happy with the image quality?  It feels 
like I'm happier with the images from my old Nikon CP 950 than I am 
from the newer Minolta Z1.  The Nikon's images are less noisy, and it 
gets the colors right.

Really?  In the pictures I've taken, my baby's skin looks 
ridiculously red on the Minolta shots (even though all other colors 
look fine), whereas the Nikon (950) shots have much better colors, 
including the reds.
