I have to admit it was the 28mm focal length that attracted me to this camera and pretty much nothing else, I am that shallow.\u00a0\u00a0 However it turns out that within its extremely limited range it’s actually\u00a0a camera (No I did not forget to place an adjective it literally is a camera).\u00a0 The zoom is a paltry 2X\u00a0\u00a0going from \u00a028mm to 56mm with apertures of 4.5-8.6.\u00a0 Not exactly a low light star and\u00a0the lens is\u00a0only actually sharp in the center but its 28mm people why else would it be called the W.<\/p>\n

So the good: 28mm and large buttons and display. The Bad: 56mm isn’t exactly telephoto (See image of seal bellow) and\u00a0pictures look vaguely\u00a0like they have been smeared with vaseline but only in the corners so that’s okay.<\/p>\n
