I'm once again thinking about a new digital camera. My Canon Digital Ixus 400 is still ok, but has occasional mechanical problems. And it has noise issues even at ISO 100. I don't like to get a SLR, because I very much prefer the pocketable format (point and shoot type concept). Of the current cameras, my top three choices are Canon Digital Ixus 860 IS, Fuji Finepix F100fd, and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. All of these have potential problems, and are not quite attractive enough. But there are rumours of F120fd, Canon certainly will offer soon something new, and Panasonic hopefully improves the noise issue in the next models. My big wish is a 1/1.6 inch or bigger sensor, 5x or better optical zoom, and a real wide angle lense (at least 28 mm).

What will happen with OOXML? -- Comment()
ISO put OOXML document formats on hold. This was expected, and not only because of the complaints from the member countries. Now the ISO organization has a possibility to fix its reputation. This was a sordid mess. No wonder Micrsoft announced support for ODF, the competing format, in MS Office.
