When I got up the next morning, my son had taken almost 500 pictures with the camera without reading the instruction book...it's that easy to use.

Like all digital zoom cameras pictures tend to get fuzzy when using the zoom feature to try and bring things really far away in close. The camera does a good job on most of these shots, reducing the "shake" to bring items in as clear as possible.
I've taken some short movie clips that have helped me set up some training videos for customers that I can send via email.
A great, versatile camera!
