 I have not completely made up my mind about the new proposals. I am a 
 little doubtful about r.p.d.point-and-shoot which seems a bit 
 disparaging (somewhat like the "entry-level" in cars that sets my 
 teeth on edge!) and r.p.d itself might well take posts about such 
 cameras. I own an SLR but I also enjoy using my little Nikon 3200.
