in fact, improve your skills for pictures, it really deserve you, I think the mini is really nice but it's nearly impossible to see if it's right...
that's a shame.
for the side of the picture, if you have windows, when you look at the picture, you can rotate it and the system save the rotation, i think you should have better rating...
try to improve the settings of your camera, and use a picture correction software to mach the more possible to the reality looks like.
(I already have to improve my photographe skills (and my english))
conclusion, cool mini, surelly best in reality ;-)
