courtesy of new toy: after much despair looking for a equally cunning replacement for my old digital camera, found the best reviewed ‘prosumer’ compact on end-of-line sale in a hong kong shop. incidentally, the sign for the shop extended diagonally across the street intersection and was, literally, longer than the shop was deep. canon powershot s80, a solid buy, should always be able to sell it on if a future samsung nv7-alike goes wide angle.
