Terrific Vacation Photos!

Could not picture myself lugging the Canon Rebel SLR around Europe, so researched slim point-and-shoot cameras and decided on this one based on reviews and the Leica lens.  It seemed like a good compromise of features and reasonable price. I got terrific photos in all kinds of situations (sunlight, inside museums without flash, nighttime shots of the lights of Paris, etc.)  Battery life was pretty good; I will probably pick up a spare for future trips, but I never ran out of power.  The only negative I've noticed is that the battery door seems flimsier than the rest of the camera and swings open very easily if you happen to hit the release accidentally.  I bought a neoprene case with a drawstring opening and a carabiner hook for attaching to your purse, belt loop, etc. which made the camera extremely accessible and handy.  The camera is very easy to use, and I'm so happy with it!

I love what Rick did with this book - combining savvy travel tips, photography tips, and beautiful images into such a great read. My wife and I have been wanting to make this trip for a while now, and you can be sure this book will be our planning guide and our companion on the trip itself. My hats off to Rick and Susan for doing such a thorough job, and making the whole process fun. Highly recommended!

We received this as a wedding gift. It's awesome because we receive all our  wedding photos on a flash drive. We have all our photos from our big day and our honeymoon. No picking just few favorites to have printed. Picture quality is great! My only regret is not registering for a larger one!

Wonderful, great quality photo album!!  I ordered the Sky Blue color, and this photo album is just beautiful.  Our 4 x 6 vacation photos fit perfect in the album with a space to the left side for writing.  Very happy with this photo album, I would recommend it!!

Certainly a lot of great color photos filled with memories! It was a great time to rock and roll, and a great thing to experience and survive.

John keeps up the tradition, with more short letters from people there. Great color and photos collection. A collection of history so many of us lived. Thanks. John, you did a great job.

Excellent choice of photos. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because i know of some photos i'd have preferred to those chosen for the calendar. The date squares are sufficiently large to enable notations, and contain helpful special data.

Island pics are always refreshing and inviting.  Just the right size.  Placed on kitchen pantry door to remind of vacation time!

This made life so much easier on my trip to Hawaii, where we spent a lot of time on the beach or snorkeling.  It was easy to use in the water, buttons etc.  I recommend buying the floating strap though, as it does not float on it's own.

We got much better pictures than we ever have with the disposable underwater cameras, and using a 4gb memory card in it totally allowed us to go nuts and take as many pictures as we wanted.  And battery life was surprisingly good.  I liked the pictures even more when I loaded them onto the computer from the camera.  They look grainier on the little view screen.

It's great in and out of water, just remember to wipe off the water from the lens when you leave underwater shooting, or you'll get blurry spots in your out of water photos.  Just common sense, I know.

Also, when you use the forced flash underwater, if the water is a little bubbly, you might get some bright dots that look pixelated.  So turning off the flash may help.

One thing I did read about a lot that I will confirm.  Low light photos are a little grainy, so if you're going to use this indoors, don't expect it to be a replacement of your regular everyday camera that you love.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the purchase.  I'll be using this a lot for vacations and beach jaunts.  It was even fun to use in the pool, and great for a day that was a little rainy.  I didn't have to worry about keeping my electronics covered!

While professional photographers may find this to be a cheap, un-fancy tripod, I found it to be absolutely indispensable on a recent vacation to Yellowstone. On previous vacations, I relied on strangers to take photos of my husband and me. I always felt stupid asking, and the photos rarely came out the way I wanted them to. With this I just have my husband stand where I want him, frame the photo exactly how I want, and set the timer for 10 seconds while I run over to him. This is the first vacation that I have more than 2 or 3 photos of us together! I used it on rocky terrain, a muddy riverbank, a mountain side, and a windswept plain, and all the photos turned out great. I have had no problems with it's construction. It is easy and fast to set up, small, easy to store, and lightweight.

This was probably one of the best $10-or-under purchases I have made in years. Worth every penny!

Ian Plant's photos are marvelous. His wildlife shots are amazing and spiritual, in some cases. His landscape shots give one the emotonal feeling of truly wanting to explore the bay. I found the book very compelling, enjoyed the essays by Tom Horton, and hope this book helps preserve the bay.

This camera delivered great pics on our vacation.  The zoom capability is excellent for a moderately priced point-and-shoot model.  Very happy with the purchase.
