เ interesting, but I think it seems a little bit scary. T T First time I thought it's a ghost.

Thats not the best way of selling a camera. Its too blured and looks like a bad photo, It doesnt work.

YES I definitely agree with Tincho. If you MUST use a blurry picture in a camera ad, it's to show the problem with other cameras.

you're communicating that the shutter is extremely slow, which is one of the main gripes people have with point and shoot cameras these days. whoever signed off on that strategy needs to be fired.

This reminds me of that 'get back to yourself' campaign.
