(P.S. as a professional photographer used to SLR's I don't give glowing reviews for compact cameras easily - but did I mention that I LOVE this little beast?!)..." Read Full Review »

I thought I had a bad batteries so I replaced it then I thought it was the charger so I replaced that too. Now Nikon..." Read Full Review »
