"Wow! This camera is amazing."
Pros: Easy to use, touch screen controls, takes great pictures, takes great video, plays them directly to the TV, plays a musical slideshow on the TV
Cons: only 3x optical zoom
Summary: This camera has absolutely blown me away. It is amazing. I've been using an old Canon for the last 8 years. It was good but this camera is so far above it it's not funny. I've used it for one day and I absolutely love it. The best thing is the huge 3" LCD screen on the back where all the controls are done by touching the LCD screen. My wife was able to use it without any coaching from me. That is a testament that it is easy to use. I'll try it on my mom tomorrow. That will be the ultimate test.
The video mode is incredible. It can shoot 16:9 wide screen video into MPeg2 files and then play them directly to the TV with the adapter cable. I'm not sure if I'm going to need my camcorder any more.
The only shortcoming I can see is that it only does a 3x optical zoom. But that's pretty standard for this kind of camera.
