"EXCELLENT for advanced amatuer photographers."
Pros: This camera is an 8.8 not 7.2! Consumer Reports says this is the #1 6-8 megapixel camera! (november 2004 magazine) This is not for beginners or point-and-shooters. In the auto mode, it acts like a point-and-shoot with a large zoom. I have a Canon AT-1 fil
Cons: Screen is on the small side. Does NOT come with memory card! (Be willing to pay extra!) It likes to use 1/4 - 1/2 sec exposure. (Buy a tripod) No AA batteries. (Buy a spare battery, it's worth the money.)The Pro's heavly outweigh the Con's.

Pros: Size, shape, construction, clarity of photos, fast bright flash, efficient battery use, and not too heavy/light. LCD and TTL viewers both bright and crisp and informative. My favorite feature is the articulating LCD.
Cons: Compact size can be a nuisance when held by large hands. The red-eye lamp is easily covered by the second finger.

Cons: can be a little daunting to get camera set for specific purposes, and once a user setting is made, when a change is required, make sure you don't just point and shoot. also sometimes difficult to get to where you want to in the menus.
