Summary: Great camera for beginners who just want to have manual controls(like Aperture,Shutter Speed & ISO Speed) in their camera.Heavier than most Point and shoot cameras but heaviness of camera gives more stability while shooting(less camera shake)and further helpful if you want to switch on to DSLRs(which are generally on the heavier side).

Summary: It is a very good camera for people who are wanting to take good photos, but don't have a lot of space to carry the camera. It is very easy to use, and one of my main reasons for buying it, was the fully manual mode. I thought only cameras like the EOS had manual focus, until I found this. It has been great camera, and I recomend it to people looking for a cheap, but decent camera.

Best camera for the money (for my needs).

Cons: Really don't have any

Summary: I'm always one to grade on a curve if you will - grading relative to a products price, and what I perceive as it's comparable competition. This camera gets my vote for doing so many of the basic things so totally satisfactory, while still coming in at a price (2/9/11) between $179 & $199. I also have a Panasonic DMC TZ5 that I am just as happy with in the image quality area's, but it does't have the great zoom, plus the price was higher at the time of purchase.
