Full Review

This is an excellent camera for those that just want to push a button and get good shots or a very good one for somebody wanting more control over the settings. It is fairly light weighted, which could be a plus or minus depending on personal preferences. It is surprisingly compact for a camera with a 12x zoom. The image stabilization works as advertised and there is very little shutter lag. Like most digital cameras, there are more features and setting adjustments than the average picture taker will ever need or use, but that's better than not enough. To my untrained eyes, the photos look great, even those taken in low light. Anyone that doesn't like the quality of this camera or its pictures should be shopping for a digital SLR instead of a camera in this price range.
