OK, true confession, I did get an Olympus Stylus 400 for Christmas. Life has been so hectic I haven't even had time to read the manual. I do like to photograph pollen and bees knees but know my limits. Point and shoot. Liked Jim's advise very much and actually did follow it when making my selection, I think. My granddaughter age 14 is visiting for a couple of days and I am hoping she will show me how to use it as I still haven't found the time to read the manual. I have to learn to use it soon, my main bloom season is end of March and I already have leucojeum, anemone, many narcissus in bloom and lots of other interesting things. Carolyn in Los Gatos, CA
