They are a big name in photography along with canon and nikon. You just don't see as many as you do canon and such. They have been around since 1952.

I love my camera. I'd probably sell my car before I sell my good camera
Theres a point you reach when you get deeper into photography when a camera isn't just a gadget anymore, it's more of a tool. One of my favorite quotes from Dorthea Lange:
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

considering that your camera and all the accessories you have for it values more than your cobalt i'd rather take the camera too.
for the thread starter, that point and shoot camera takes very nice pics. pretty good price for it too.

exactly, thats what i was looking for in a camera, portability and good quality. these pics were taking in 'autopicture" mode, where it decides the the best options. I'm a newb with digital cams, this is my first "decent" one

Are those child size socks in the passenger side door handle? BTW nice pics of the car. My 1st 35mm slr was a pentax, then my mom repo'd it back. It took her nearly 4 years to notice it missing. She did not deserve the camera as far as I was concerned.
