Congratulations! The photo is very nice, too. My son has an Optio W20, and likes it a lot. Very sharp, remarkably flare-resistant lens, build quality just shy of a hockey puck. The LCD could be easier to see in sunlight, though, and there is no viewfinder. Overall, he's -very- happy with it.

As one who shoots weddings and portraits regularly, I have to caution on too wide a shooting. Although the prime is probably better corrected for linear distortion, you have to be cautious about shooting too close with too wide a lens. The reason is that a rectilinear lens distorts in a
