What do you think, list?

Fernando.
Interesting, I usually have the opposite problem with the center
weighted metering on my OM-2n; it tends to underexpose in similar
lighting situations.
As an aside, how did you scan the slide? I have a difficult time
scanning Provia, though to be fair, it's easier to scan than some
other slide films.
I love Provia, and I've been finding some good deals on it lately.
Now if I could only find a quality slide projector that didn't sound
like a 767 landing in the middle of my living room...
As for the Canon G series of cameras, they still seem a little too
"chunky" for me. My preference is for either a truly pocketable digi
point and shoot or slightly bigger mirrorless interchangeable lens
digi cam (m4/3rds, Sony Nex, Ricoh GXR). As it is, I decided on a
Panny GH1, which just arrived in the mail incidentally. What an
amazing little camera! The size and form function remind me of the
Canon Powershot, with a significantly larger sensor.
