I, too, am interested in a small, easy to use camera.  What I have
always wanted to know is how long do the batteries last in such a
camera.  It is my understanding that they autofocus, autowind, 
autoflash, and autorewind.  That seems like a lot of "auto-stuff"
for a small battery.  Does anyone know how long the batteries last?
