Several months ago, I stumbled on something that totally amazed me. It's a talking camera from Minolta. It actually tells you when it's too dark and it uses autofocus for everything.

So have any of you used one? My friend got me one but we haven't been able to see each other yet so I didn't get the chance to try it out. Anyway, if you've seen one, do you think that a totally blind person could use it successfully? Does it tell you anything else or only "too dark, use flash"? Is there a modern camera like this out there?
