Rating: - the best point and shoot
I needed something simple, and to the point. I did not want to explain why my wife would want to use the tamron lense over the pentax......I am going on a cruise, i want things simple....for both of us.
I am experienced with slr's.....very experienced.
This camera, after doing the research..as well as comparing the stats.......wins 5 stars hands down.
i just took an experimental role of film.......kodak 400 high definition, the first in the camera and used the roll to see what it can produce. blown away! i shot photos of the George Washington bridge.....the way the shadows were cast, and the way the definition is so unreal. This is the best point and shoot ever!
