Review Summary
2009-01-20T19:00:00
Original shipment lost by UPS in Lenexa Kansas. Adomara did a great job on follow-up and reshipment. Next order will be fedex over night. My son, a Lt. in the artilery likes the viewfinder size. Pictures taken under less then optimal conditions still turn out great. Macro pictures compete with with a Nikon D70s with a 60mm 2.8 Nikor lens. This is the best small "outdoor" camera on the market.
