Italian term or phrase: Clicca che ti passa
Remember the Novartis campaign? (i think it was for camera phones)

What would the slogan be in English
- 'shoot whatever' sounds a bit too militaristic!

don't suffer, snap happy
Explanation:
As an Italian mother tongue I feel slightly out of place here, but it's just to point that "clicca che ti passa" is a pun on the old popular saying "canta che ti passa" - thus a popular song like "don't worry, be happy" might well fit in

agree  Laurel Porter: This was used pretty extensively by Kodak in their "Kodak moment" campaign, but it sounds pretty good here. :-)

Snap 'til you drop


Explanation:
a pun on "shop til you drop" (which always chases my worries away ;)
anyway I'd definitely go for "snap" as it's taking photos.

or how about

"Snap all your troubles away"
for a more literal take...
