misunderstood.\u00a0 The camera is small so that must be the mini, so what&#8217;s big?\u00a0 The pictures it creates?\u00a0 Not really, there the same size as any other 35mm camera.\u00a0 OK it&#8217;s just a catchy name for a decent camera.\u00a0 One nice feature is the +- 1.5 exposure compensation, which works great for backlit scenes, like the one of the trees with the sun behind.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also quite good at close distances focusing down to 35cm.\u00a0 Hmm 35mm lens,35mm film, f3.5, 35cm close focus,\u00a0 those stats almost exactly seem like they are accidentally on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Ok that&#8217;s enough, I&#8217;m almost done, how many oxymorons are in my post of\u00a0vexing fun?<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
