In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

Defective Battery March 7, 2008
I got this camera for my sister for her 12th birthday this February. When the product came, the battery was defective. I had to call customer service a few times to try to get a new battery. They finally told me that it happens often and they will ship out a new one right away. The camera itself is pretty thin but a little big. The pictures taken were average. The LCD screen in the back was bigger than other cameras.
Good all around March 2, 2008
I bought this camera for a recent deployment. My old one was at the end of its chain and wasn’t going to make another deployment. So I did some research online, I wanted a camera with good battery life, good picture quality, using a standard SD card and would easily fit in a pocket. I wanted all of that in a package that cost as little as possible, so if it didn’t survive the deployment I wouldn’t feel all that bad about it. And that is exactly what I got in the Exilim and I couldn’t be more pleased.Being around the size of a deck of cards I am thrilled with how easy this camera is to carry around. The pictures it takes are very high quality and not being a true photographer but the king of the snap shot, it works for me. The only possible complaint would be the LCD you view your photos on is not the greatest quality. It works but it is hard to tell if your pictures came out well until you get them on the computer. I ended up with the blue one, which is rather light blue and a bit girly, but its not something I could complain about considering the price I paid for it, which was right around the hundred dollar mark. All in all I am well pleased with this camera, and while I bought it for one deployment due to its quality I am sure it will survive the next couple of years without a problem.

Best of the superzooms March 4, 2008
I have taken about 250 pictures with this now and owned it for almost a month. Most of the pictures came out well even the ones were I pointed the camera out the window while driving at 55, on a bright day. The 18X zoom gets you close to things even three hundred feet away.
The good, metal threads for tripod, high capacity (4GB and larger) SDHC cards, 18X zoom, very good anti shake, easy controls, very good results on full auto, very good burst mode (multiplr shots while holging down the shutter release), good results freezing action.
The cautions SDHC cards probably mean you have to buy a new card reader, propriatary USB connector, and battery mean you have to have a spare. Monopod or tripod for lowlight shots. 3MB per picture average so larger and faster memory cards required (4GB, SDHC, class 6 or larger not the cheap cards). The lens assembly is threaded but heavy filters are not a good idea but lighter filters will be fine.
I am just an old man with time and a camera and get good results with this camera. Has good range types of shots and handles settings well on auto. My picture taking philosophy is take a lot of pictures and hope to get a few keepers and this camera does that. Freezes action well with good clarity.
