I take pictures and video for a living. Its what I do for fun as well. I have an over abundance of digital cameras ranging from $10 into the thousands. I purchased this one off of e-bay thinking no more than "I can get a printer with it for instant results." I didn't think much of it when I got it I was amazed by the simplicity of it. Not only is it pretty well self explaning but easy enough for a child to use. With the display you can keep or delete immedietly the picture you took. With a 1 meg card you can take almost 400 pictures before you even have to worry about how much space you have. It does have as well a well written book explaining how even the newest of beginners can take high quality photos. In my business this really helps. Of course we still have our old trusty 35mm but digital is the new thing and having sites it saves time and money not to have to print out every picture you take or have the photo shop put them on disk for you.
