DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY with the OLYMPUS C-7000 Point-and-Shoot:

Just before dusk a few days ago I was waiting on Harbor Island to make an early evening Airport pick-up, and I used the only camera I had with me to take a few shots of the San Diego skyline. I didn't expect much because daylight was low and the lights in city buildings were just beginning to come on. With an ISO setting of 400, I shot wide open at f2.8. I hand-held the camera, steadying it on a rock. I was probably half a mile away from the embarcadero. I was surprised at the clarity of the images. That we can get such definition under low light conditions is a credit to the engineers who are designing digital cameras these days.
