So I bought a Nikon Coolpix L3, on the recommendation of the very nice salesman who told me the Nikons are a bit more durable than Fuji cameras.
As of right now, I'm not completely in love with the interface, but since it's a Best Buy purchase I have 14 days to return it. I was veerrry tempted by the top-of-the line credit card sized Olympus that can be dropped from 5 feet and dunked in water without any damage (and has a correspondingly eye-popping price tag). Hey, Olympus? If you send me one for free I'll promo the hell out of it for you.
I can't always get what I want. Oh, well.
So, I tested Mr. Nikon out at Broad Beach (in super-scenic Mel-ibu), which is where I spent my Labor Day:
And here's one more of Malibu (this was taken a bit further south):
Aaaand one of the cat, who's very angry with me about my interrupting her cricket hunt (they're hiding in the recycling basket), and is giving me the stink-eye:
I may not like the interface that much, but for a sub-two hundred dollar camera, this thing's got a kickass lens.

thank you all (*sniff*). Over these past few months with your couch pics (still waitin' on that coffee table book), I realized that the very worst profession for an Angeleno to take up, a couch reupholsterer.
