Excellent – Fantastic camera. Takes great shots and allows a very good amount of flexability. I have a digital SLR which I use as much as I can becasue it affords me more manual shooting options giving me control over the shot but this little camera is the next step down all in a very conveniently sized package which fits nicely in my pocket. I'm no video expert and this unit couldn't compare to a good camcorder but this does all I need which is capture those moments that I'll treasure in the future. The camera is heavier than I expected but not to a point that I'm dissapointed with it. I don't regret this purchase and I like to think of myself as someone who can take a decent shot. IT's relatively small and easy to use. Takes fantastic shots. Has a manual mode which is all I use as I can determine what settings I want. However my wife uses the automatic mode which still produces very good pictures. 10 Megapixels which gives you excellent printing options if you manage to take that one in a million shot. Excellent price when bought over the internet. Video footage is great too. 3 inch screen displays images very well. Hard to fault. There are slightly smaller cameras on the market. It is also reasonably weighty
