Great Camera

I bought this camera a few months ago to use on my trip abroad where I knew I would be taking at least a few hundred pictures. I wasn't disappointed with my choice. The battery life was great and it took good quality pictures. I added a 2 GB memory card and ended up taking more than 300 photos and I only had to charge the batteries once. It comes with multiple scene modes which proved to be really beneficial when I was taking landscape shots, and pictures from the bus or train where I had to change the mode to picture stabilization. Changing modes is quick and easy; just a simple turn of the dial at the top of the camera. Uploading the pictures to my computer was incredibly easy. Anyone can do it regardless of technical know how. Just plug the usb cable into the computer and camera and it will take it from there. The only downside to the camera that I have experienced so far is the quality of the pictures taken in darker settings. I tried to take pictures of a room that did not have the best lighting, and the pictures came out very poorly despite using the flash and messing around with other settings.
