Rob, sounds like a really good camera! What brand? If you know anything about the Optios, esp. the 230, they are very very basic. They have a FULL mode on the dial. But it just lets you choose 100 or 200 ISO, flash options. No aperature or shutters speeds. I think the aperature goes as low as 2.5 and I think I maxed it out at 1500s shutter. I was really stupid when I bought it and got 3 64MB cards, plus the Sansdisk 16mb that comes with it.
