Scott...

Thanks for posting such a comprehensive report. The pics look great. Being in the market for my first digital camera, the SD500 has shot up to the top of my watch list. With so many digital cameras on the market, and new models coming out every week, it's not an easy choice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume you're very satisfied with your new camera.

Having spent 5 weeks in the Cocoa Beach and Orlando area up till April 3rd, I was very disappointed not to be able to join up, but there was no way... hopefuly next time.

Glad to hear that your voice is back. Funny thing, my daughter who has been in the Bay area for 3 years now, had throat problems for the first 1 1/2 year. I think y'all have different air out there.

Thanks again for the great post.
