> Any one else have any observations on the Optio series .good or bad? I have the 230 as well. So far, I've gotten disappointing results from it in low light, but I haven't played with manual focus much. I've been in a couple of situations where I had to use the LCD to compose. Overall, in daylight, it's great, with very good color. Macro mode is fun to use, too, and the flip-out LCD is handy for taking photos at funny angles.
Here are the first shots I took w/the Optio 230: http://www.beyondthepath.com/photos/optio/index.html Amita
