No, the Mavica does not have a tripod screw but you could probably work something out. I wouldn't bother with a flash switch, I'd just get a piece of draftsman's tape and cover the flash – low tech solution. I use the Digiview and the Color Splitter with the auto cable. I'm not doing 2.0 with my 500 'till I get the accelerator in there and all is quiet. Remember that the Mavica and the Xap Shot are really point and shoot cameras. The quality is low but if you bring the image in at 640X400+ (which exceeds the range of the camera really), and scale it to 1/4 screen, it looks fine. IP does what it can with the stepping. In some respects this softens the image. Some shots just don't need it, especially if you don't have a lot of 45 degree angles in the picture.
