(The main advantage of this megapixel camera is that it is really SMALL --
and therefore really fits in your pocket, and therefore is always handy. As a
result, I actually *use* it -- a lot -- as opposed to my old Nikon 35 mm SLR.)

My kids gave me a Sony Cybershsot DSC-U10 for Christmas two years ago.
It's only 3.25 x 1.5 x 1". Only 1.3 mps and no zoom, but like you, I
hardly ever use my 35 mm. any longer.

Here's a pic of flying with Jack Allison to OSH this year:

Nice shot. Looks like Iowa or Wisconsin down there.

Without formation training, I wouldn't want to get too much closer to anyone
in flight.

Extremely sensible! Without training, it's just asking for trouble.
And you're not even wearing chutes!
