I chose this camera because it was recommended on Consumer Reports. It's great for a $280 camera, I suppose. I like to take no-flash pictures, and it's hard to get a good no-flash picture with indoor lighting. One will either end up with blur+good colors or no blur+grainy. (I'm not a camera expert, so this may be normal for a less expensive camera). Also, some would prefer more control over the exposure, etc.; there is no manual focus, for example. The anti-shake also is less than I was expecting. The face detection is spotty. On the other hand, the 15x optical zoom is great, and it will take perfect pictures in the sunlight. If you are going to do outdoor photography, or even if you are going to use a tripod frequently, this is probably a good camera for you.
The camera is well laid out, and comes with the usual items for a digital camera. The flash is a flip up type which is somewhat aggravating but minimally. Small "SLR TYPE" shape and is better feeling in the hand with rubber grip accents. The battery (4X AA) access panel is the most negative feature to me, and is both flimsy and hard to close easily. I am wary that the battery cover door will fail after multiple battery changes. Otherwise a decent camera for the money.
This camera is amazing. Great shots specially on portrait pictures it smooth every skin out, hiding all imperfections and everybody looks great! Great video recording in HD 720p. The pictures are clear and definitely gives you the feeling of a professional photographer or at least it's a good start. What I found that was not so good is that some pictures taken in the dark without the flash could come up blurry sometimes but I understand that you have to manually set the camera for those moments and I'm still learning. The menu is very simple and sometimes is great but sometimes keeps me wishing for more. The zoom 15X is very respectful also. I'm in love with this camera and I will say yes get it, but try to get it at a price range of $200 no more.
Camera came as advertised, works well for my needs which is mostly point and shoot with a little bit of zoom and action shots. Batteries last a long time even with alot of looking at pics and playback of the video. Video is really good especially outside with alot of light. Flash is a bit cumbersom having to flip it up when needed. I wish it would release when needed when auto. Overall a good camera for a amature.
This camera is easy to use right out of the box, and it produces high-quality pictures for a point-and-shoot digital camera. The body is easy to hold, and the presets simple to understand and use. Wish it had just a little more manual control, though (ISO, maybe shutter speed, or white balance). Any of those would allow me to transition better from outdoors to indoors.
