Thanks Franco,
I saved it to my favorites so I can read up, I am happy with my Canon Power Shot A470 but considered finding something lighter and maybe a bit smaller for my Thru-Hike next year.

My beloved Lumix is in there. I have been contemplating between bringing it and my Fujifilm Finepix Waterproof/freezeproof/armageddon-proof camera on my thru next year. Knowing me, I'll end up taking both and baby the Lumix during storms and cold weather. :P
