Customer Review :

I originally purchased this camera based on rave reviews in Consumer Reports, and have not been disappointed. It is amazingly easy to use, but has many advanced features - many of which I have yet to touch. I've logged about 2,000 photos with this unit. I rarely run out of space on the SD card. The only quirks is that you can sometimes get it into a weird mode, then have to review the manual to figure out how to back out of it. Not very intuitive, but then a cameras feature set is not like writing software. I recommend a small camera pack and extra battery so you can swap out when needed. The tele lens is unreal, I have taken long range photos by just hand-holding the camera that came out pretty nice. For really long shots, use a tripod. The telephoto lens goes into digital mode when zoomed all the way out. I was in Disneyland taking a photo of some guy on the Matterhorn and was able to get an unreal closeup that came out crisp. Even zoomed back to normal the camera collects a huge amount of data that you won't realize until you copy it to your computer. Full Review
