I'd be interested in hearing more about the FD-81 and your opinion of
it. I've never quite liked the Mavicas, mainly because they've pretty
much always been a year or so behind the curve in resolution, although
the convenience of the floppy makes up for some of that.
What kind of external zoom lens are you using? How much was it? Do
you like it? :)
My Ricoh is getting a little dated, although its 8xx X 5xx (forget the
exact size) pics are still fairly decent, and it's macro capability
may still be one of the best around - autofocuses at down to 1 inch.
I'm seriously considering going with an Olympus next time around,
although I hate to do that because they use that smartmedia crap
instead of the compact flash. I already have a 20mb compact flash
card, so I'd have to sell that along with my Ricoh when I upgraded,
only to turn around and buy more smartmedia cards.
