I have owned five digital cameras and have handled several others belonging to friends etc. I haven't seen the perfect camera yet. This camera takes very good pictures right out of the box on the AUTO setting. This camera loves bright sunny days as most

If this camera was intended for a more advanced photographer, it falls short. All the features are great, but without battery life you’ve got nothing. Indoor shooting without flash is challenging with F’stops of 2.8 (wide angle) to F’4 (telephoto). T

Pros: Great features for total control.
