Yeah, Mark you're not just an artist, you're a stylist. My wife sees right through that stuff. She cuts to the chase faster than Jon Stewart.

Thanks for the link, Frank. I like the looks of that (and the Canon that Adam mentioned). My concern is that the ISO and f-stop range on those models will not be adequate for me to campture the sort of action that I want to.

I mean, it's clearly time to step up from our P/S Canon (which has been great), but I don't want to spend good money and then be disappointed. You know, it will be easier to swing the Rebel or the D50 if I haven't already pissed away $400 on something else that wasn't satisfactory.

So, do you guys think the Canon S2 or S3 or the Sony H1 (at only 400 ISO) would be fast enough to get me usable shots of swimmers without so much noise that they are unusable? Remember - most of the time we're talking about inside with no flash in a big room. Sometimes the lighting is pretty good (to my untrained eye).

Muchas gracias!!
