Thanks, Howard.

The Oly 500 just became more tempting.  It is, of course, on 
clearance, as the 510 is due out shortly.  Today, the Oly 500 + two 
lens kit dropped from $759 to $599 in one of the local stores.  While 
quantities last.....

Still, it will be her decision... not mine.  (I just get to pay the 
bill... .it's called the "division of labour"!)    :-)

Cheers!
