Excelent!
When I buy this product in 2006, I never thought
to this day what would have working in my hands. I did a big sacriffice to bought and it response perfectly. With over of 70.000 pictures, never had a problem but a little dirt on the lens. I soak, I dropped to the sand, scrimmage, he traveled almost all South America and here it is. I use every single day of my life. Highly recommended, sorry you have not done!
