workhorse camera

I bought this camera new just before I stopped working at Circuit City. I've used this camera to take shots for websites and magazines. It has performed reliably for 8+ years and produced very good quality pictures.

The optical clarity has rivaled some newer point and shoots I've tried and I always loved the optical zoom.

It's semi-retired now, but occasionally I'll break it out for static product shots for the classifieds.

Problems:

Wear and tear item: the rubber viewfinder cover peeled off about 6 years into ownership. Not a big deal, just need to glue it back on same day.
