Hi Chris,
Thanks for your good wishes, as always. I'm thinking that the dynamic
spot focus is what I settled on in my first E-3 outing at a sporting
event.  How do you like the 420?  I keep trying to get my wife
interested, but she is in love with her lowly Stylus.  Either that, or
she knows I would probably take it away from her.
