If anyone hasn't seen this video it's kind of scary- now anyone can take a good photo even without focusing it correctly!

A 'good' photo has little to do with the camera/lens and a whole bunch to do with who is pressing the shutter.

If the only problem with my pictures was focus, it would be a great camera.

It's a new version, but it still has only 4MP
