Hi Jim!

With "absolutely not suitable for snap-shots" I mean that when "shooting" a moving object the result isn't sharp due to the long "reaction-time" (= from pushing the button to taking the picture - I don't now the right word for his).

Images of non-moving objects are brilliant, you can "turn it" for best positioning and it's small and reliable - but for snap-shots too slow.
