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!
