Product Rating: 5 star(s) Most Awesome Thing I Own!

, Jul. 22, 2008
Comments:
I take about 20,000 photos per year for work and fun. After two weeks, and nearly 3000 pictures, this camera is the most awesome item I own. I have taken photos of the moon, of flowers, of people and of products at work and had more than one person say "Wow!" when viewing the results. Two of my friends have already bought the same camera for themselves based on my photos. The zoom is the most phenomenal aspect of course, but it does such a great job on fully automatic, and if I change some setting while learning the more advanced features, but forget to change back to the previous setting, it is very fogiving of my mistakes. The flash reaches out a full 30 feet, and the recycle time is unbelievably fast. The manufacturer estimated you would get 400 shots per battery charge, but I got nearly 1000. I would heartily recommend this camera to beginners or experts.

QuickTake:

Pros: EVERYTHING! From the HUGE display to the superfast start-up time, this camera is GREAT!
Cons: None so far. Closest thing to a negative is I am still learning to use all the cool features.
