Interesting to know! An island at our local lake is nicknamed Deer Island after some deer wandered out there one winter and were "trapped" until next winter. Probably 1/2 a kilometer to shore. I guess they weren't trapped after all and just chose to live there and take a year off from running from predators! :D
As a beginner in photography, I am extremely happy with the camera. Plenty of features for me to learn and get used to. The point-and-shoot format as well as the stellar zoom allow me up-close shots with no lens fuss!
