"This digital camera will probably seem expensive: the absence of shutter or aperture priority is likely to be an issue. On the other hand, it is a dream device for a professional who, in the setting of his work, must capture and send photos. You also must consider the remarkable quality of the zoom in terms of resolution, albeit sullied somewhat by distortion at wide-angle. The photographs are mostly of excellent quality, although the metering is occasionally tricked by strong sunlight, as is the white balance when the flash is activated. These two issues can of course be overridden with manual adjustments. Now all we need to know is not the price, but what is included for your 8,500 francs (including tax): will the modem card be included in the bundle, or not?"
