Dear Helen, I just read a nice story about a hotel in Cape May, NJ, that caters to guests with dogs. The Boarding House 810 Lafayette Street Cape May, NJ. 1-609-884-4884 BoardingHouseCapeMay.com Perhaps Sahraa would like to visit this quaint Victorian town.

Dear Helen, I see what you mean about the similarity of what I just posted: the Red Cross Fabergé Easter Egg, but I don't know where that came from; I just found it on line. (This after viewing the Russian plates.) I wouldn't be surprised if a vast amount of Romanov possessions were scattered around the world. I remember visiting the Kremlin and there being one room of Catherine the Great's jewelry but otherwise there was a lot less of Imperial effects there than one might suppose.

Ted Kennedy		13-Feb-2017 17:14
Helen, thank you sooooo much for the great photos of Okinawa. I really enjoyed them

Helen I served in Okinawa in 1979 hope to see the pics of the uso tour Thanks

Guest		26-Feb-2015 11:35
Helen, Loved the photos of abayas and doha. That all I have looked at so far. But also reaslize you were in Okinawa. I was there in 1958-1960 and a young kid in Naha AFB and actually living off base at Machinato Point. What a lovely place then. Thanks for your lovely photos. I will be in Doha, just a flight change... Wish I had more time there.

Pete		27-Jan-2015 20:45
I have pictures of the Top of the Rock Officers Club, Okinawa, 1972 and 1973. I can send them if provided an address, and they are High Resolution.

Hello - Saw your interesting page about Herend, as well as the lovely pics. We'll be in Hungary in November and want to plan a visit to the "real" factory, not just the visitor center and "mini" demo. We have a large Herend collection and are members of the Herend Society. If possible, can you provide information on how to schedule the VIP tour? (The driver we were hiring said no one can go in the main factory.) Thanks very much for any details. Hank Collier, hwcii@aol.com

Helen Betts		12-Sep-2014 17:32
Thank you for your kind comments, Peter, and I'm glad you're enjoying my galleries! I just can't resist leaving some commentary, either for informational purposes, or to relate the adventure surrounding getting the picture :-). Best, Helen

Peter M.		11-Sep-2014 14:59
....And I must add, Helen, I appreciate the efforts you put in when describing your pictures! It is so much more interesting to know what you are looking at. Thank you!

Peter M.		10-Sep-2014 16:01
Helen, you are proving that regardless where you go in the world, there is beauty to be found!

Judith Barath		27-May-2014 21:56
Hi Helen, I was searching the internet for Budapest architecture and came across your amazing album. I was born in that city. Your attention to details, composition and just the way you see Budapest (and the world) touches my heart. Thank you for the wonderful album. I am glad you had a great time in Hungary. In this year a lot of construction was finished and the city is more beautiful than ever, it is full of life (and tourists). Even the Metro4 is done and running, also the Vigado was inaugurated. It houses a great exhibition about the Hungarian architect, Imre Makovecz. I wish you the best time and happy photographing in Saudi Arabia. Judith Barath

Jerry Curtis		26-Apr-2014 23:21
Helen, I happened upon your galleries when I saw a comment on some pictures of Anitta Vuorisola, who had commented, out of the blue, on one of my PBase photos, and I remembered you from the STF Challenge days. I even remember some of the pictures in your challenges gallery (the H5 ones, especially). I think you were living in Turkey the last time I visited your PBase site, and I gather you are now in Saudi? What a great travelogue you have compiled here, with such interesting and informative commentaries - a real pleasure to find again, Jerry

gilles bourgogne		09-Apr-2014 12:00
I have too little time now to look thoroughly at your galleries, but you seem to be a well travelled photographer ! Therefore I shall certainly come back ! Besides, we have one camera model in common : a Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3, even though i started using mine just a few weeks ago.

Samer Kouka		25-Mar-2014 14:23
Hi Helen, I visited your profile and i checked your photos in Jeddah it's really Amazing.

Hi Helen, My husband was stationed at Kadena AFB in Okinawa (1964-1967) (1968-1972). My sons also took Judo under Sgt. Peavy Do you have any information pertaining to Sgt. Peavy. It would greatly be appreciated. Thank you, Pat

Jeff Real		19-Jan-2014 15:11

Hi Helen, I just wanted to leave a message on your guestbook, telling you how much I love your photos from Saudi Arabia. Not just the photos either, but the wonderful and fascinating accounts you have provided for us. I know a lot of people are following this particular gallery. It is one of the highlights of my day, checking for new photos of a place I know I'll never see, but am fascinated by. Thank you!! Christine

Fabienne		06-Jan-2014 21:13
Bonsoir Helen, c'est avec beaucoup de plaisir que j'ai découvert vos galeries. Vos photos sont variées et très intéressantes. Elles sont faites avec talent et savoir-faire et la qualité est excellente.

Kay Stevens		14-Dec-2013 17:55
Thank you for your wonderful collection of photos of Makovecz buildings. I'd been introduced to his work by a friend and really appreciated being able to see them portrayed so clearly and professionally. My best wishes, Kay

Lynn D. Hickman		25-Jul-2013 20:33
I purchased a Kodak Carousel Slide Projector through EBay. The unit arrived & included a 140 slide tray almost full of color slides. The review of the slides include family pictures, travel pictures and a lot of Kadena Air Base. I called the seller and according to him, he purchased the unit in July 2013 at an Auction House in PA. If anyone is interested in these lost memories, you may contact me at ripcord05@aol.com

John Glines		16-May-2013 01:33
Glad you like my vintage photos of NYC. Now that I live almost full time in Thailand, I miss NYC all the more, so those galleries of the old city and its people is sort of a valentine to the place. You know I remain one of your biggest fans. I love the Rain Night in Barcelona, particularly the shots of the fruits & vegetables.

Steven Kay		10-May-2013 03:17
Hi Helen I am highly impressed by the high quality of the pictures. These are very sharp, well composed and compelling to watch. Well done! One gets a chance to almost visit the places you have captured in your photo galleries. You have made a great contribution to PBase and the world of photography. Regards Steve

marybeardwood		05-May-2013 19:12
Dear Helen, I am very excitedabout your photos of the Topkapi Palace. I would like to purchase a couple if that is possible .Mary

Lucinda Lambton		28-Feb-2013 19:28
Dear Helen, CONGRATULATIONS on such excellent photographs. I am writing from England, in the middle of a book about buildings for elephants for which I would LOVE to use some of your pictures. Would that be possible? I do hope so as they are very fine. With very best wishes to you, Lucinda Lambton

Jim		22-Jul-2012 03:36
Beautiful pictures. Are you sure that the photo of the USMC change-of-command ceremony was taken at Camp Hanson, Okinawa? I was stationed there in the mid-70s and don't remember anywhere on the base where one could see the ocean in such a way.

John Glines		25-May-2012 07:22
Thanks, Helen, for you kind comment on my gallery of food. The recent photos of yours that I've seen are truly extraordinary. I haven't commented on them, but I certainly have enjoyed looking at them. Best wishes.

Guest		19-May-2012 07:37
I was stationed on Okinawa when MS Rose's dad died in 1968. We made a water jump as a demonstration for a group of high ranking Japanese miluitary. It was a water jump and MSG (at the time) Ryay had a heart attack during the drop and did not survive.Oki was otherwise a beautiful place. How did you manage to attract the attention of the bull in the bullfight? formerly of 1st Special Forces Group(Abn)1st Special Forces. Ryan was my 11st Sgt at the time of his death. B. E. O'Day

cindy Furman		31-May-2011 01:10
I was interested in your Capitol Hill, Washington DC pictures. I have worked on my family history and have pictures of a couple of the houses my ancestors lived in. One was 809 East Capitol St which seems to be listed as a condo now, so don't know if the original building is still there. Another was 1522 8th St. Congress Heights. I'd like to email the pictures to you to see if they are still there. Beautiful pictures!

Guest		03-Apr-2011 23:10
Was stationed there from Sep 1970 until Jan 1972 (258th PSC Command). Boy, things have changed. Really good pictures. Shows that you don't need the state-of-the-art digital. Rode motorcycles all over the place with 3 other guys that I'm still in touch with. Good times.

Jim Easley		18-Feb-2011 17:35
I was in OKINAWA form 1968 to 1970 and was stationed at the 137th ORD CO. I would like to hear from anyone that was there at that time. From 1970 till now I have not been able to find anyone that was there . Maybe I was dreaming. NOT. Thanks

PMR		23-Jan-2011 05:50
I just saw your info on Garfinkels. My uncle, Jack Maddox was with them in the district, where I was able to "lunch" with his friends at the "Birdcage" when I visited. He then was the manager at 7 Corners. I would love to contact the WONDERFUL Peekie or other members of his team

Chas Wilson		28-Dec-2010 00:07
Hi Helen - It is I, Chas Wilson. Tim and I worked with one another, off and on, in Ankara in the late 90s. You and I shared a tobacco habit and several terrific conversations, as I remember. Your photos are captivating. Hope you both are well.

Denisa (CNN journalist)		15-Nov-2010 16:18
Hello, First of all, congratulations for your beautiful photos. My name is Denisa and I am a journalist at CNN London. I work for a project called iList Turkey and I will make beautiful galleries of nice places around Turkey. I have found some photos of yours that I would like to use. Please contact me on my email address and I will tell you which ones I am interested in. Would you give us permission to use them in a photo gallery that will be published on the website cnn.com international edition? Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Denisa

Louise		24-Oct-2010 19:40
Hi Helen, My name is Louise and I found your photos through a google search of kuwait desert dogs. I too have one of these wonderful dogs from WARL. We got hey back in june, his new name is henry. I cant find much information on them but your description matches henry exactly. I would love to hear about what youve learned about the breed.

I was stationed on Okinawa 1957 & 1958. Our gunsite was in futema. Our Unit was 65th AAA "A" Company. We stayed in Sukiran Bay. The pictures are nothing like it was.

Hello. How could someone get the right to use the image of the little drummer boy that I see as the 1st Place winner for Music as a part of a Church Christmas Show poster?

Guest		09-Aug-2010 15:09
Gary, the little church on the beach is no longer there; in fact, the flat area between the church and the beach is now a small hill overgrown with weeds. The area might've been some kind of dumping site, resulting in that man-made hill. I lived in Machinato Pt. from '62~'72 and attended "Vacation Bible School" at that church. I went back to Okinawa for a visit a few years ago and was hit by the reality of "you can't go back again".

Blaine		26-Jun-2010 01:40
Even in a C 12 that does 300 kts it must be like an eternity to get to Iwo from anywhere.

Gary Ring		08-May-2010 05:58
I lived at Mashinato Point from 61 to 64. My little sister was born only 10 days after arriving in Nov '61 and days after a severe typhoon. My dad was a crash fire fighter at Kadena AFB. I have viewed satelite maps trying to locate a church we built along the Machinato Point beach. It was a Free Will Baptist Church. Do you know if it still there? I did attend school at Camp Mercy and in the Quonset huts. I remember too hooking a baricuda with my new fishing rod. The rod was destroyed and the cuda lived on! I remember taking a lantern and small fish nets and catchng shrimp along the beach line at night. Lastly, my little brother and I called the ordinance team more than once to take away munintions left over from the war. I did not realize how close Machinato was to the invasion point. As a 10 year old kid - THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS!!! Thank you for the pictures. Do you have one of the oxen pulling the little two wheel carts? Regards!

Shelley		02-Mar-2010 14:58
Your photos are absolutely amazing. I can't stop looking at them.

Karen Sobel		11-Feb-2010 02:52
was glad to have found your pictures - I do find it amazing that the snow has gone mostly south of CT -

Jeff Soard		11-Dec-2009 21:43
Hi Helen, I doubt that we knew each other but I was googling Mashinato Heights and found your site. My father was Airforce and I lived there when I was eight and nine from 68-69. We were stationed at Naha. I used to love playing in the jungle on the mountain behind our house which was perched just above the rice paddies. I also remember that most of our neighbors saw habu's in and around their yards but we never did because we had a mongoose that hung out at our house. It used to like to eat mom's tomato plants. She was fine with that if it kept the snakes away. I have a lot of great memories from back then. Even the binjo ditches were kind of cool yet gross. I would like to go back and visit some day even though I probably wouldn't recognize anything. I work with a guy older than me who was stationed there at the same time and we enjoy comparing notes about our memories of the place. Did you ever go to school in Quonset huts? I remember that we had a drill where we kids had to put shutters up in case of typhoons. It was a different world over there but the people were wonderful, kind and generous. I am going to try to get some old photos scanned over the Christmas break and post them somewhere. If you are interested in seeing them drop me an email.

Hi, Helen! This was really a great idea to create your challenge galleries. I greatly appreciate comments that people, passionate about photo, give to the pictures of this collection. Exchanging points of view enriches all us. And your galleries are wonderful. I discover your site occasionally, surfing in dpreview.com and I'm enchanted. I will surely often return. Thanks

Martin Kralik		05-Apr-2009 14:37
Hi Helen, Hope all is well. We exchanged messages before about your great photos of Bratislava, Slovakia, and the great sense of playfulness and whimsy they convey. On a related note, I thought I would share with you this link: www.mestskezasahy.sk/. It's a new initiative by young, Bratislava-based architects to beautify the city and create and/or revive precisely that whimsical aspect in many currently grey, 'in-between' public spaces. (The website's layout can be a bit confusing but all you need to do is click on any one of the bubbles - and also pardon the English which is shaky in places). Although I doubt that a great number of these ideas will attract sponsors or otherwise make it to fruition, it's great to see creative people applying themselves to making things better and more aesthetic, particularly amidst the current construction boom across eastern Europe, where everything seems to be driven by developers and their brutal 'dollars and cents' logic. All the best in your pursuits, Martin (Abu Dhabi - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore)

Nancy Roof		21-Mar-2009 23:37
Dear Helen, Kosmos journal would like to publish your photo of the Awakening Revsisited - 1077577419. We would need a hi res photo for a half page publication. We would credit the photo as you designate. We are known for our stunning visuals - and this would be one. Hoping to hear from you in the positive.

Hi Helen, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your photos, especially the ones of Okinawa - they are wonderful! Not only do you love photography, but you love life - it shows in your photos. I recently started an Okinawa folder but don't bother looking too soon; at the moment I only have 12 pictures in it, but I'm working on getting more pictures into my gallery and filling in the captions. That's the other thing I enjoyed about your gallery, you identified and had a name for strange looking insects, etc. Now I know the Japanese name for the Asian Long Horned Beetle - lots of fun! Thanks, Nancy nancykennedypictures.smugmug.com

Dear Helen, I ran across your photos when searching for ideas for some pics around Washington, D.C. You do VERY nice work. Very impressed. I am in the Washington area myself (although soon retiring in Thailand), and it's a pleasure viewing your work! Vince Lynch

Holly Chase		08-Dec-2008 15:19
Merhaba, Helen-- Very evocative photos. Ankara is overlooked by most visitors to Turkey, and indeed by many Turks themselves. It's a REAL city with a personality that goes beyond the 20th century monuments. The traditional market around the Roman and Seljuk Citadel, Samanpazari, is one of Turkey's most charming. As one who has lived and worked in Ankara, I can say that you have included a great sampling of pieces of the Turkish mosaic! I continue to work with Turkey, as a consultant for travellers-- both seasoned business travellers and first-time tourists. I'm happy to be able to direct my clients to this site for a preview of what Ankara holds for them. Selamlar ve iyi bayramlar !!! Holly Holly@hollychase.com Holly@hollychase.com

Hi Helen, Any way to purchase a large digitial version of one of your capitol hill photos? Thank you - Great shots!

Guest		22-Nov-2008 05:40
Helen, your photography is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. As one of your neighbors in Capitol Hill, I truly enjoyed viewing the photos of our beautiful neighborhood.

Ana Teresa		08-Nov-2008 02:40
Helen, you take some fantastic photos. Topkapi Palace photos are absolutely great and so are the photos of Istanbul. The photo you took of the Mosque "Istanbul revisted" is outstanding!!! Turkey is an amazing country that I loved visiting. I congratulate you for such outstanding photographs!!!

When I was a lot younger, our family lived in Turkey. The photographs of the fairy chimneys brought back to mind one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing!

Steve Peckham		14-Jul-2008 04:53
Helen, my name is Steve, in 1973-74 I was stationed at Kadena air base, Okinawa. I found your photos of Okinawa to be a trip down memory lane. I loved it there, and looking at your pictures tonite, it reminded me just how much I've missed it. Thanks for the trip! Steve

Lovely photos. I'm glad I came across them.

Donald Haddix		15-May-2008 16:34
Helen, your photography is "spot on" as they say. I discovered this site on a Google search on Iwo Jima. Dad fought there, lasting 3 days, before being wounded and barely surviving. Thank goodness for his comrades who pulled him out of a destroyed tank. I was trying to find out if they still have flights there. Please let me know if there is still a way to get to Iwo. Thanks for everything and Semper Fi to all the Marines that served on Iwo.

John Glines		27-Apr-2008 04:25
Thanks for dipping into my galleries. Glad you liked the sky behind the chedi in Chiang Mai. Ironic that that was shot with my old Canon S10, which only goes to prove once again that it's often the photographer more than the camera. I was surprised you looked at any of the "My Life" photos. I'm just sorry that I didn't start using a camera till I got my first computer, which isn't that long ago, so I don't have pictures of Hawaii in the 40's, Paris and Rome in the '50's, Tibet, Beijing, Guilin, but I do have fond memories. BTW, I never tire of dipping into your galleries. I'm probably your #1 fan.

Bobby Conn		28-Mar-2008 10:31
Helen, beautiful images!! I was born and raised on Okinawa and graduated from Kubasaki High School in 1975. My mom still lives there and I left there in 1978 after joining the US Air Force.I try to go back as ofter as possible to see my mom but at times financially cant afford to fly back with the wife and kids. Its these photos that you took and posted on the web that now inspires and motivates me and my wife, even more, to go back to visit all the wonderful people of the islands!! I wish one day to retire there and live on Tokishiki or any of the Kerama islands. Bob Conn connbobb@hotmail.com

Mark Henley		27-Mar-2008 04:41
Helen, my family lived on Okinawa from 1961 to 1966. My dad ran the Camp Mercy Officers Club. After joining the Navy in 1975 I did a tour at Kadena. I still get gifts from my mother that she collected in the 1960's because she knows how much the island means to me. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks for your kind words about my Calypso Cabaret gallery, but the truth is that I posted only one photo taken with my Sony H5 at the performance last week. The others were taken over a number of performances with different cameras and even a different photographer. Also, thanks for your thoughts on a dSLR. Best regards.

Many thanks for taking the time to look at my sample photos & leaving comments. And I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner but I have a friend from NYC in town for the week. I've started to work more in the Aperture setting. (I took all your comments to heart.) Re Peaking: go to manual, click on the focus button & you'll get to peaking, which can be set on high, low or off. Again, many thanks. John

So many of your "views" were the same as my "views"...I feel as if I had a personal photographer! Loved the balcony views especially! (and the Harlem Globetrotters!) Take care, and say "hello" to Tim. Debbie D.

Hi Helen, I will be visiting Ankara next week and stay in Turkey for three weeks. I travel to Turkey every couple of years to take photos and visit friends. I love to photograph the people of Turkey. The Kale is one of my favorite places to visit. The artist Kemal Celik is a close friend of mine. Many of the people of the Kale know me. Maybe we could meet? Your photos are great. Roger

Helen, I've got my R1. It seems to be a nice camera. But I couldn't find enough time to walk around with it for testing too much. Apparently, I need someone give me a hand for photography walks around Ankara and nearby. ;-) Btw, how is it going with D200? Happy enough?? Take care.. Sinan Altinok

Helen Betts		27-Mar-2006 19:59
Hi Veysel, Thanks for the information. I don't have that lens but do have a 60mm micro, which I rarely use although it's a great piece of glass. Hope you can take some good pictures in Antalya -- that's very exciting! Dört gözle bekliyorum ;-). Helen

Guest		27-Mar-2006 18:35

Hi Helen, I lived for 3 years in Ankara at the end of the 90s and when I came up by chance on your pictures posted in Dpreview I immediately recognized my former city. Good and very evocative work, it's true the winter in Ankara is generally dull but from time to time you get those beautiful clear skies. Congratulations, cheers, Guillermo

John23gr		04-Nov-2005 06:31
Helen, This is my first "exposure" to your gallery. It was a wonderful, exhilarating experience, which I found both educational and humbling. You have a natural "eye" for composition, as well as for color, and not only that, but for most of the shots you were obviously under the handicap of being a tourist, which limits your time, timing, location, and weather! I was going to write which were my favorites...but I stopped, because I would be leaving too many excellent photos out! (OK, the colorful fish, and your collection of doors were incredible!) I have a vague plan to visit Instanbul in the spring, but I bet that I could take hundreds of shots and not find one to match yours. I look forward to revisiting your web-gallery for more "lessons in photography!" Be well, John Apostolos San Francisco, New York, & Patra - Greece http://www.flickr.com/photos/john23gr/

Hi Helen, great galleries. I will come back to have a closer look - especially the Istanbul-gallery is fantastic for someone who's loving that city that much that he can't imagine to return to his own country ... (maybe you like to see mine too?http://www.erik-nehring.de ) I will come back with more time to have a closer look. Thanks for these great pictures. Erik

Helen, re your comment on one of my pages that you were glad someone liked your Turkey galleries (!) I had dinner with the person who was my travel partner in Turkey and found she is a fan of your pages too. She was in awe of the care you took with the interior and details and the results. During Xmas break I will spend more time here and learn more. I loved the extra info you gave and hope you don't mind if I contact you with a couple of questions about some of the places we saw.

I plan on going to visit Okinawa in a couple of months and I wanted to get the book before to reorientate myself. It has been twenty years since I last visited. Thank you for taking the effort to create this book. If the new one comes out, is there a way you can let me know, I would love to obtain one. Sincerely, Paul (Kinjo) Potter

Helen Betts		04-Mar-2004 23:53
Hi, Thank you so much for looking at my galleries! I must admit, I haven't been too photographically inspired since I returned to Turkey from Okinawa -- the colors and setting of Ankara just don't compare to the brilliance of my favorite little island. Anyway, to answer your question, I generally shoot in Aperture Priority at an f-stop that allows either for the depth of field I want or gives me a fast enough shutter speed that I won't get camera shake -- just depends on the situation. I never use Auto or Program modes. For closeup work, I use Manual. For flash shots, I shoot in Shutter Priority 1/125 sec. If you let the camera choose shutter speed for you (as in Auto or Program), you will find it picks around 1/40 second, which for me leads to camera shake and blurry pictures. I try to be aware of changing White Balance to fit the situation, using mainly Sunny and Cloudy (for shady scenes as well); I find that Auto WB often produces an ugly yellow cast (that can somewhat be corrected in PS but not entirely). I keep Saturation, Contrast and Sharpening set at 0 and use ISO 100 almost exclusively. I rarely use Smart Zoom (although got an excellent pic with it a while back) and I have both the wide angle and tele converters; the first one I don't use much, but the tele lens is light, easy to carry and well worth the money. All in all I have found the V1 to be an excellent little camera that I prefer to my 717. I just got an 828 to try out but will hang on to the V1 since I know I can rely on it for all situations plus I can carry it with me all the time in my purse. Hope this helps -- don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. Helen

CCS		03-Mar-2004 20:12
Helen, I really like your pictures very much, can you share with us the preparation involved before each shot ?? do you simply use auto mode or you make manual adjustment before each shot ?? I am using a V1, any tips for Dsc-V1 users thanks !!!

daniel zrna		09-Feb-2004 18:22
Thank you for all the memories that came back and were stirred. My family are missionaries and lived in Okinawa for 5 years ending in 2003, and long for the day of our return. It is a hidden paradise, with some of the most beautiful people, spectacular views and food of Gods creation. I used to snorkel and bring home dinner, just like you see in the photos, every other night. The top place in the world for diving. I am no expert, but have alot to offer on Okinawa, feel free to drop me a line...Dan I was at many of your photo shoots. The best camping is right in between the clifs of Miyagi Island. Free, hidden in the farm roads is a shady white sand oassis. thanks again

Hi Helen, I have the same Sony V1 as you do. I wanted to know if you have problems with the shots coming out blurred...sensitive to the hand not being still. Or do you always use a tripod? What mode do you take your pictures in usually. Thanks in advance for your help. K

Hello, after browsing in your website and photos, I have noticed that you own many Sony p series digital cameras. I am looking in to buying one soon. I have considering P7 and P9. You have taken shots with both camera, can you tell me which one you will recommand. What I look for in camera is pretty simple. Point and shoot, picture quality, I will be only taking pictures of protraits. Flash capability, this is somewhat important, because I usually take photos indoors with low light or during night time. I guess the most important aspect is picture quality in all circumstances. I will be only be printing out 4 by 6 pictures. So, can you please tell me whether P7 or P9 is bteer in your opinion. I have also considered Cannon s30 or s40. Maybe if you can compare them for me and give me your advice. Thank you
