"It has everything and more, absolutely great!"
Pros: So many features and editing options
Waterproof to average use depth for most users.
Love the 1cm macro setting
Nice and easy to use software
Ruggedly builtCons: The motor sound while zooming during video shooting extremely annoying
Summary: I must say that I was impressed with this camera as was my wife.
Battery life before having to recharge could be a bit better but acceptable for my use.
We have owned a few name brand digital cameras before but this is by far the best we have tested so far.
We bought the camera for the underwater capabilities but ended up playing around with all the features like 2 little kids at christmas.
I was impressed with all the editing features that can be accomplished right on the camera itself: things we used to have to do on the PC or at the camera shop after.
The only real drawback was the sound that is recorded from the motor that zooms during video recording. Wow...it was very loud on our camera. It was so loud that it drowned out most other sound recorded. We will not use the zoom during video recoding if we happen to do any video recording ( we have a digital HD camcorder already).
All in all, this camera is outstanding and one of our best investments yet.
I think you'll be impressed!
