    • Besides looking sweet and feeling superb in my hand, it take some nice point and shoot shots… Click the read more button below to see a shot of my son literally minutes after opening the box.

    Click the image for a 1024 x 800 sample. This was taken with the flash in a LOW LIGHT room with nothing more than auto mode, point and shoot.
