So why would we want to lug around a giant camera that slows us down, that keeps us from getting to that unknown point where the perfect shot awaits? The XL-5 is no bigger than a credit card, so you have no more excuses. The only thing standing between you and snapping a pic of your next great adventure is . . . you.

Passage 2:
