Tall Paul, when you are looking for a new camera, be sure and give the Olympus C-750, or the C-770 a good going over. With the 750 you can auto focus and press one button to lock the focus in. Or, you can auto focus and with one button transfer it to manual focus. Or, you can go straight to manual focus. The manual focus scale in the view finder can be in metric or english and as I remember has two scale ranges. Probably more than you wanted to know at this point.

This camera is extremely versatile and the printable manual is 204 pages long.
