[CAUT] Digital cameras was RE: Slipping Beckets pictures

[Terry Beckingham]

Don and David,

I have a Lumix DMV-ZS3 by Panasonic. I leave it set in the automatic 
position and I can take close up pictures down to a distance of about two 
inches. It also has a 25mm wide angle lens and has 12x optical zoom. Cost 
is approximately $350. I can take over 600 pictures on one charge of the 
battery. It's great.
