gizmon-Half D

I got this little charmer recently. It's the gizmon-Half D. It's a mini-digi that evokes the Olympus Pen. I haven't had a chance to do much more than run through it's basic settings, but I think with more time, I may just become smitten. It scores quite a few points for cuteness alone.

Here's the deets from the wonderful Four Corner Store
