Strengths: A real camera feel with its SLR style, Easy to use, Nice zoom, Lots of options, Great photos!

Weaknesses: The lens cap, The basic manual

Summary: This is my very first digital camera and I am enjoying every minute. I would suggest you go online to review the full manual as the one included in the box is very basic and will only get you started. Its a great camera with many useful and fun features.I have already printed a few photos and they look great. I have also had the opportunity to view my HD photos on my HD TV -usind the SD card, and they are beautiful! The detail is outstanding. I am impressed and can not wait for my next vacation with this great camera.One thing I was a bit concerned about is the lens cap.The lens cap falls off easily and pops off when you turn the camera on. I decided to pick up a nice case to keep it in, and now I dont worry about my lens getting damaged.Good luck finding the one that is right for you, I have found the one for me:-)

Strengths: Awesome Shots.

Weaknesses: None.

Summary: I am an really bad photographer and this camera makes me feel as though I might actually have some talent. As unlikely as that may be, at least my photos are coming out looking fair which I could never say before.
