"Great camera"
Pros: Beautiful shots, excellent zoom, multiple modes
Cons: I don't find any
Summary: This camera is fantastic. With it's 10x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom, you'll catch everything! There are different settings (I love the sports setting for use at my sons' basketball games). It produces clear, crisp pictures which print beautifully (not at all grainy or cheap looking).
An amazing quality is the night setting. I took a picture of our all black dog in a completely dark room and the shot turned out! It was as if she had lighting around her. You could see every detail. Amazing!
CNET mentions no digital image stabilization but I guess I'm not missing it because my shots are perfect no matter what the situation.
Force yourself not to zoom in as much as you think you need to zoom when taking the shot. You can always crop and zoom later.
Battery life is excellent. I took well over 400 shots with the batteries that came with the camera. I put in rechargeable AA next and those lasted another solid week of taking shots EVERY DAY at basketball games (3 sons playing basketball means lots of games!). I do wish the camera gave a little more advanced warning when the batteries were getting low.
Screen is clear and easily visible in all lighting situations.
Overall, this is a great camera. If you're looking to take outstanding shots with an easy camera, you've found your camera.
