But quickly what I can do is point you at some photos that I have taken. In October we went on a Mexican Riviera Cruise. I have posted the pictures on our website. <http://homepage.mac.com/carlam/mexico/> I posted these pictures untouched from the camera. Most of the pictures are at the 2M setting (one down from the highest). In general for these kinds of shots this is enough. A couple might be higher resolution for some posed shots, but not many. Viewing them in the web browser wont be that great. If you're interested you can save them and view them an image editor (like Picture Viewer). I dont know if these pictures will make a difference, but every little bit helps in making a decision. If I can answer any questions, feel free to ask. ...Duane
