Correct answer could be...
D) Buy Olympus 35-SP and use guide-number focus-linked 'flashmatic' feature.
This is similar to the manual flash + guide number option, but works simply
by focusing... yet another way the 'old outdated' cameras can yield better
results than the new AF-AE wunderbricks and P&S (almost typed POS <g>)
zooms...
BTW, I've gotten the 'overexposed main subject with perfectly exposed
background' too many times...
