Gimmick or Breakthrough???
« on: February 22, 2012, 02:17:18 PM »
Admittedly I know next to nothing about cameras, or camera technology. I was hoping some of you experts could chime in on this. The style is a little ugly, but looks like it would work well for a pack camera. Just not sure if it's a gimmick or a real breakthrough in camera tech. Any thoughts???

It sounds like mumbo-jumbo to me. Nothing new here.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1

Very interesting. I'm intrigued by the After the shot focus ability.  I've missed what might have been once in a life time photos, like an Alaskan Wolverine running by camp, because  my current camera couldn't focus fast enough.  It has an 8x zoom,  I'd like to see some photos of far off objects.  I do have doubts or concerns about how that glass touch screen would work in cold, damp, rainy conditions.

Looks like it would be a neat camera for family affairs and road trip vacations.  But it's way to expensive for that in my opinion.  Pretty neat toy for sure.  But, I'll stick with my Nikon.
