Good – This is a great camera for really fantastic quality shots without the bulkiness of an SLR. (But it's pretty heavy compared to other "compact" cameras so make sure you're willing to carry it around before you buy) The big screen is a bonus and the macro function is very good. Would highly recommend for excellent point and shoot photos. It's very easy to use and takes great photos. It has a pretty fast start up time. Lots of features (more than I'd ever use). Big screen. Not as strong in low light situations as I thought a camera in this price range should be. Flash powerful but a bit "washed out" for people's faces, not warm enough.
