I bought it because it had a good focal length range ~38-380 which is usable in movie mode (a lot of P&S digis at the time didn't allow zooming during video capture). One main reason I bought it was to send videos of the new (at the time) daughter to my in-laws in Australia. They love to receive short videos of Alex acting, well like Alex. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
