larger than it needs to be.\u00a0 But it also a camera that just works.\u00a0 There is no fiddling or wondering or setting there is just pointing and shooting.\u00a0 This is of course the appeal of cameras of this type with the added benefit that this camera actually does allow adjustments like exposure compensation of +- 1.5 EV.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a bit of vignetting but that is part of the look from the camera and is not objectionable.\u00a0 There is more information and images from the camera here<a href=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/?p=1835#\">\u00a0Konica Big
