tarolLove this camera

Voted 5/5

Upgraded from my Olympus C-5000 and I'm lovin it! The 18x zoom in such a small lightweight package is a very wonderful thing. Imagine taking the equivalent lens for your SLR when you're hiking?? I also love the super macro capability - great for taking up close photos of wildflowers.

"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings."   --John Burroughs
