Welcome back, Donald. Looking forward to seeing the pix.
Yikes, I hadn't realized how verbose I've been!
I know how you feel about the iS- camera. While I've used only an iS-2 so
far, it's so intuitive and responsive for fast shooting it's become a
serious threat to my brace of Can-not-an-OM-on T70s, which I love for their
dirt-simply AE modes and built-in winder that doesn't penalize me with added
bulk. But the iS-2 and iS-3 have all that, plus they cover the focal
lengths I use most often without the hassle of swapping lenses around.
Fortunately - or not - the iS-2 belongs to my mom so I have to pry it from
her tenancious fingers.

...the Tour was first rate.
I have to say, though, that I abandoned OM for the actual event. I used the
iS3000.
Practice during the mass amateur ride a couple of days before convinced me.
It is a very intuitive camera, and brilliant for shooting that kind of
action. Unfortunately I didn't get much time to shoot lots of pics, and I
was learning a few things along the way, but I am convinced that this is my
Tour camera. Now I need another one...
The OMs, of course, still got a lot of use.
Great to read all the posts. Lex is really getting into hyperdrive ;-)
