Yeah, it's pretty painful in the best of circumstances!

Cool, that's exactly what I'm talking about -- I'll check Minolta.

The Elph was/is fine for vacations, being as small as it is, and
I've been using a Nikon 4500 for taking product pictures (jewelry)
for a client and it's nice enough, but it's spending all its time
on a mini-tripod on the studio table. Recently I've been feeling
like doing more photo work, especially outside... (must be spring
fever approaching!)

Thanks for the pointer,
