Love this camera

I just purchased this camera a week ago to take on a vacation in the Dom Republic... and so far all I can say is I love it! It has been easy to use (even w/o reading the manual yet) and awesome clarity, speed, zoom, etc.

I am not a "camera person" (meaning I have never used anything beyond a simple point and shoot film camera) but this camera is inspiring me to play w/ settings, etc. and I am really enjoying it and my pictures so far look very professional... so far I am in love with it. I wish the manual was not on PDF format but actually came in a book, but other than that, no complaints.

i am happy w/ the purchase. I paid $560 which included: camera, an extra memory card (which was $100.00 and is part of the $560 total amount I paid - you will need this so just buy it), case, tax, etc and think it was a good deal. I would absolutely recommend this camera.
