I've got an Optio Wp I carry in my vest, and it's a handy camera but I'm not
sure the optics are up to the kind of prints you want to make.

Who make prints? :-)

I don't think I've printed more than a half-dozen photos in the past
year, but I'm not as seriously into photography as you are, Charlie.

To me, prints are things that eventually goes into the trash or into a
cardboard box in a closet. Digital is forever, as long as you back up.

A 5 megapixel camera with so-so optics is good enough for me. My biggest
problems with the Optio WP are the lack of a viewfinder and the somewhat
unusual battery. Both are mere annoyances compared to the compactness
and waterproofness (is that even a word?) of the Optio WP.

It's a lot better than my cell-phone camera. :-)
