I'm a point-n-shoot picture taker and whatever the defaults are on my
camera are generally good enough for me.  I pull the JPEGs off the
camera, point f-spot to wherever I put them and I'm done.  I might
even go back at some later date to look at them.  The things that I
like are:
1) There is a screensaver that can use them.
2) I can generally find them later.
3) It seems to run fairly fast -- although I have nothing to compare it to.

Brad.
