Great Camera, Great Image Quality, Great Zoom

This camera is everything the advertisements say it is. The only thing I would recommend is that less experienced photographers should stick with the automatic scene modes or the picture modes. I use these modes for almost every shot I take and my pictures turn out clear and sharp. Also the battery lasts forever. I have been averaging about 300 shots between charging with the flash used on half the pictures or more. Overall great camera for the money and the 12x zoom is awesome.
