I still wish they release a firmware update for the cp995 instead of releasing even more camera models. But I think that's wishful thinking. They have made my money and now it's time to make even more.

Since I am not that rich, guess I have to wait for a few new generations before there's a justification to upgrade. For me, I also hope that the consumer digital cameras will offer more control over the pictures, perhaps a focus ring! because I find it almost impossble to judge the exact focus distance and set it. Guess I have too much expectations...
Your solution is a digital SLR like the D100.
I don't know about the 995, but my 950 auto white balances in most situations including mixed lighting pretty well. I had also hoped they made some improvements to the 950 firmware but they came up with the 990 and 995 instead. ;p
Judging distance is not too bad, the inherent DoF of such digicams are usually very big, so little errors are not so apparent. I frequently use distance judging on my 950 when the light is insufficient for it to AF, or when I want to overcome the slow AF. Unfortunately, the 5700 has removed this distance scale.
