    Just a heads up for a new point and shoot digital camera that was introduced April 22, 2008. It may be of interest to backpackers-excuse the redundancy if it's already been mentioned.

    From dpreview.com:

    -Smaller and lighter than the popular Ricoh Caplio 500G.

    -Superior water and dust resistance-in compliance with US Department of Defense "Mil Standard 810F", whatever that means!

    -Powerful Flash

    -Large 2.7 inch LCD

    -Compact and lightweight body that can be carried in a breast pocket.

    -28-140 zoom lens, wider than most, a perfect range for a backpacking point and shoot I might add.

    -10 mega pixel sensor

    -Comes with lithium ion battery, but will run on AAA batteries.

    -Apparently no image stablization which I think is a desirable feature.

    -Apparently no optical viewfinder which I think is a desirable feature, especially outside

    Check it out at http://www.dpreview.com for more information
