Hi Dan,
Glad to hear this worked for you and yours. My ploy as far as flash goes is
to get a T20 (or something else on the smaller side). She used to shoot
our OM-1 with my enormous Vivitar flash. The T20 will be a big improvement
in scale; plus she remembers that flash shots with the OM-1 were far
superior as regards red eye and that blue-veined look.
The only thing I can think of to miss with the P&S is the sweet and easy
fill flash.
Joel
