Shoots RAW

Picky about pictures, a person who enjoys quality, an amateur photographer, love to travel

Pros

Sharp Pictures, Easy to use

DEC

2007

This is a sturdy little camera that takes great shots. I particularly like the swing-out view screen - it allows you to take pictures from many different angles and actually see what you're doing. And it also has an optical viewfinder, which is rare for a viewfinder.
The main reason I bought this camera is that, with a hack that you can find online, you can shoot RAW. If you're shooting RAW, you know how important this is - if you're not, go find out about it!
