Summary: This camera is diesel. I've always been, and most likely will be a Canon fan first and foremost, but I got this camera as a graduation gift and it's really surprising how much I like it. I love the detail this camera has on close up shots. It's phenominal. In low light and nighttime hours, you will need to use the flash because pictures become grainy, but duh, why wouldn't you want to use the flash, it's dark out... haha.
Now, switching gears to the incredible panoramic view mode: omg. It's like nothing I've ever used before. I don't know if its because I'm only a freshman in college but it blew my mind the first time I saw it. But I tried going up and down, in the directio that the arrow was pointing but you can only go side to side... ah well. Can't say I didn't try!
The HD video
It's incredible quality for such a little camera. Don't know if I've ever even used an HD video camera before but I know that I'll never go back to conventional cameras anymore. This is a very good camera for price, and dependablity...
Makes a wonderful first impression.
If I find anything I don't like, I'll be sure to let you know. :)
thanks
