In case you were wondering with what camera I am taking the previously posted photos,
It is the Olympus Stylus 410 4MP Digital Camera . It replaced my Olympus film camera that
went with me to Africa, stayed behind and came home a week or two later intact.

It's a ridiculously easy camera to use. Combine it with the SanDisk SecureMate USB Card Reader
to my laptop, and you're off and running.

The Camera does come with a cable that attaches directly to the
laptop, but I found the downloading of pictures drains the battery quickly.

There is nothing worse, photographically, than running out with a dead battery. It's very
frustrating to have the digital advantage of 372 shots but not the power to take them. I am
considering getting the solar powered back pack I saw in a recent Engadget entry.

Whether that's before or after I get the I don't know.
