Nice camera
This is nice camera for the money. Very easy to use with effortless results.

Ideal bridge camera between point and shoot and SLR
I bought this camera about a month ago, just before our Spring Break 2008 vacation to Virginia Beach, VA.

My earlier camera was (now my 8 year olds personal digital camera) a Fuji Finepix 4x 4mp. Was getting up there in age (almost 5 years of trouble free performance.) Thus I was looking for something with a little more creative control and bigger mp and zoom.

This camera really fit that bill. Keep it in Auto mode and it behaves like a high end point and shoot. Change the settings to time priority / aparture priority or complete manual to take pictures limited by just your own creativity.

The pictures are AWSOME, AWSOME, AWSOME, the vibrancy / detail it captures is way ahead of my Fuji.

Another nifty feature is the onboard movie recorder that can zoom in and out while recording (10x optical) and also record sound :).

This virtually eliminates the need for a separate camcorder... unless you plan to really make home movies, which most of us don't have the time for. If you're anything like us, record movies during a vacation and then don't have the time to transfer those to a DVD or somethign, then this is again the ideal camera, you can upload the vides to youtube or any other site and then share with friends and family.

Uses regular AA batteries, u need to make sure you're carring enough of. Budget for one set (2 AA) for each day of your vacation. Or you can get some rechargables if you want to save some money. My jury is still out on which is better Li-ion or regular AA, both have benefits. with Li-ion you need to remember to charge the battery each night and then carry the charger around anyway, just in case, with regular AA you need to carry a spare set in the bag.

Oh the face detection, range finder and multi point TTL metering as also great features that make this camera the ideal bridge digital between a point and shoot and a DSLR without all the bulk and $$$ associated with a DSLR.

Great pocket-size camera
Love it!!! I can take great quality pictures and still fits in my coat pocket. Like so well, bought one for the office and a friend was equally impressed and bought the same camera.
