Thank you for your quick response to my email regarding Gary. As it turned out I exchanged my point and shoot for the Olympus Camedia C-4040. After further thought, the point and shoot did seem pointless. Pardon the pun. Anyway, I probably was in the store for over 3 hours yesterday and once again, Gary showed such energy, knowledge, enthusiasm and determination to give a customer the full rundown of what is involved in owning this type of equipment. After spending time on the computer with the adobe software, handling various cameras, a choice was finally made. Even though my background was as a still photography, Gary showed me the great possibilities for the digital process. Frankly, it feels like I'm starting over. The one thing that does stay constant is my own personal vision.
