Yes, that is a dog in the reflection. Actually the shine is much better that appears in the picture. Just leaning how to use the camera. The wax is Pinnacle.
Man, do I feel dumb... it's 8:40 in the morning, not THAT early!
I read the topic and pronounced the word Camera like the word Camaro in my head, accent on the 2nd syllable and all. Thought it was some kinda new car or something =(
Nice camera though - definitely need some higher resolution shots. How many megapixels is it?
