    Just got back into photography and technology has left me behind since the last time I peer through a view finder to capture a glimpse of time. This camera though makes it easy to learn it all over again. It has just as much or even more power and modulation then my previous alpha but all in such a small package. Who know what kind of dark magic they used to conjure up such device but I love it.
