I just got one of those as well. I love the thing more than my Braun
Syncro Shaver with the automatic cleaner and my Relaxometry handheld
shoulder massager device! No, really, this thing is a great camera,
and I have been duly impressed with the quality of color and
sharpness in the pictures it takes. Mine came with 50 free prints at
Shutterfly.com, and I just got them back - really fabulous quality :)
Spose I should write an epinions review to add to the already glowing reviews!

>(in passing) to Santy Claus .... Santy brought an Olympus D490. Needless to
