I was in the middle of a family outing (my niece being dedicated) when my old, faithful camera (a Kodak easy share) died a slow, painful death! I ran over to Walmart - not wanting to miss much of the festivities - and found a GREAT selection. After testing a few (about 30) different cameras on my 2 year old nephew and having to wait for the photos to take or to capture on the screen, I found this camera and was finally able to catch those cheesy grins and mad dashes off. No blurring. Super quick. Caught everything! I couldn't get over the clarity either! The white specks in the blue iris of his eye showed up! Even caught my dog leaping through the air without so much as a hint of a blur during the night when I was playing around! It's simple to work, quick to take, compace, and easily portable! I'm a daily picture taker and I wish I had stepped up MUCH sooner now!
