My husband loves our new digital camera. He has gotten real into digital photography over the years. He even entered one of his photos into an art contest in our town. He wound up winning third place. The picture was taken of a bird in one of the oldest oak trees in our town. I was really proud of him. This new camera should give him even more options for taking creative pictures. It has a large zoom lens and more features than our old camera. The self timing option will also help when we need to take family photos, no more looking for a friend to take the picture.
