RW> This morning, though, I stopped to do some shooting on

If I remember correctly, f/4.8 on a digicam like Optio has same depth
of field like, my guess, f/16 on a film SLR. So you won't have
problems with DOF, it seems. Most digicams are limited to f/8 or
larger, and even at f/5.6-8 probably difraction limits the resolution
more than the sensor.
Does it help :-) ?
Good light!
