Cool Pix!

Don't worry, our better halves still have the right of veto.
I was once talked out of buying a P08 cutaway model because ‘It doesn't work and is completely pointless!’
The punchline: a few weeks later, she decorated our living room with a picture similar to the attached one... in A4 format... for three times the price.
