Oh no, those inmates in the asylum are calling each other crazy now!  Didn't
you start out with a Realist, George?  I can only speak to my own
experiences as a beginner.  I did lots of cha-cha shots with a point and
shoot.  Yes, it was extremely difficult to shift my weight from one leg to
another while pressing the camera's shutter, but somehow I managed.  I also
taped disposable cameras together and pressed the shutters at the same time.
It was easy to mount these shots as Holmes cards using Q-VUs and a glue
stick.  I did use my Loreo a lot, so looking back I have some nice sharp
pictures I took with the disposables and the cha-chas, and a big pile of
soft, but easy to take Loreo shots.


               Can you recommend a Realist to an old lady (apologies to
               all old ladies in this list) or to child?

Any old ladies or children currently using Realists who'd like to chime in?
