	That sounds like a wise choice. I haven't seen any comparisons -- I  
should look -- but I would guess the 350 would be somewhat noisier  
without a lot of added benefit. The 300 looks like the best of the  
200-300-350 series.

	Tilt screens are great! I'm always getting in odd contortions when I  
turn live view on my camera. I'm happy to have live view, at least,  
but a tilt screen is just so great. Especially the sort Sony sticks on  
their cameras.

	Sounds great, I'd love to see them.
