Yup, I use a Coolpix 950, the last to work with Tibet. I'm looking for an =
Olympus D490zoom, also the last to work with Tibet. Both are 2.11 =
Mpixals. 3x zoom.

The 950 and 490 both take AA's. The 950 has the tilt-body. The 490 is =
smaller than the 950 and has QT and panorama modes.

the best ccd ever (in terms of natural colour and skin tone), and has no =
zoom and no more pixels than you need. later coolpixies have bad skin =
tones/colour balance, too many pixels and crappy compact zooms that take =

On the 950, some is true, but I use a big card and delete about 25%.
But the 700 sounds interesting.
I still use my Olympus IS-3 for important stuff.
