OK, here's the challenge.  I love the E-20, but....

(isn't there always a but)

It's pretty darn big.  So, I want to supplement it with the digital
equivalent of a Point and Shoot.

Several look nice. I'm leaning towards on of:

Olympus C4040 -- $799 -- in stock
Canon G2 -- $823 -- out of stock
Nikon 5000 -- $945 -- out of stock

The pricing and availability are from online stores I trust.  Cheaper at
stores I don't trust :)

All are roughly the same size.  The the Canon and Olympus are 4megapixel,
and Nikon is 5megapixel.

As you all know, I'm a believer in pixel count, but even beyond that, the
Nikon and the Canon use CompactFlash, which I own a ton of, while the
Olympus uses SmartMedia, which I own one measley 32mb card.

So, I'm leaning towards, gasp, the Nikon.

Thoughts, comments, ideas, suggestions welcome.

Tom
