It's ultra chic, very easy to use, and will get you lots of attention, but this camera isn't for everyone..... I needed to purchase a gift for my girlfriend for Christmas and her clunky digital camera was basically collecting dust. After looking ...

miniature size,easy to use, looks like a gadget 007 would be proud to use
