Sorry to clobber you here Guy! but the moral of the story for me is when you
have real life situations with babies and such that do not come again and you
want the pictures to come out don't a toy camera, use a real camera.
The toy camera thing is great for when you are out in the woods shooting
branches off the trees and you don't have to count on the shots coming out.
