I just completed a picture book for a couple who traveled to Europe last year and wanted a coffee-table book to record their trip. Every time I show this book to someone I get the same reaction, "WOW! Those were taken with just a one-touch digital camera?"

The answer is yes. Surprising to many people, photos taken with even an average one-touch camera can produce some very nice printed photo albums. A SLR camera may produce an overall higher quality image than an "one-touch."A SLR may also be needed to produce larger-sized books with the necessary resolution. However, most people only need, and are happy with, a less-expensive and lighter-weight camera. These camera can produce some very nice results, as I have seen with this book.

2½ Weeks tells a memorable story through pictures of one couples travels through Europe, ending with a wedding. The pictures were all taken with a Panasonic DMC-TZ4 point-and-click digital camera.
