I'd like to add to #15. I'd say the quality of the photos doesn't grow as fast as linearly with the # of actuations, its much slower, more like logarithmically. That is, you don't get photos twice the quality after taking twice as many pictures, its more like you get twice the quality by taking 10 times as many pictures, then four times the quality by taking 100 times as many pictures...etc.

[Iron Flatline]

Ok, the second one was funny. I didn't have anything nice to say about the first one though... just kind of boring.
