Check what just came out

//www.dpreview.com/news/0604/06042601casioexz1000.asp

10.1 Mega Pixel and a shutter lag of 0.002 seconds

Sounds like I have waited long enough. I know my 20D shoots faster but I want something I can put in my pocket.

hey that doesnt look bad at all! I've been wanting to get a small P&S too, for those times that I can't - or don't want to lug the 20D along.
Now to find out how much this little gem will cost.

It did just get announced yesterday, April 26th. I've checked B&H and they don't have it. It's coming though...and I'm ready!!

Casio's site says it'll be out in June and should retail for around $399.99. I'll be waiting for it too.

I already saved up $500 for one...that means I'll have some left over...I'll have to buy a memory card.

Just bought a 2gb Ultra II CF card off ebay for $59.95 for my 20D :-)
I'll have to watch there for SD cards if I get the Casio.

Where do you go that you can't take your 20D because it's not steel?

Where did you see what it was made of...I can't find it.

I've not seen anywhere even on Casio's site that claims this is made out of steel. I did find on Amazaon.com that the release date is June 30, 2006, and if you wish you can order now and have it shipped at that time.

It seems to have no viewfinder and no zoom lens.

Check out this Pentax underwater-capable camera. It has some pretty good customer reviews, including my favorite lines:

"If I had made the choice of another camera it would have not
survived the washing machine in Alaska. Thank-you Pentax."

Just around rock faces near the ocean where the salt spray is a killer. At least with a stainless body it can handle it a lot better. There is no way i would take my 20D out.
