Of course it does not take as good pictures as my nikonis 4 but I am putting most of the paddling pictures on the web to show people any way. I can get 35 pictures on a floppy in normial mode and 15-20 in fine mode. Some of the pictures I took at the Folly Beach Surf rodeo are at http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Geyser/6383/Folly.htm all of them are untouched and downloades off the floppies. I find I take a lot more pictures with the digital than I ever did with the 35mm.
