Pros: Inexpensive, Compact, Exceeded expectations, Convenient, Easy to use, lightweight, excellent lens, fully featured, viewfinder!
"The camera is a definite step up from the compact point and shoot category in terms of features, functionality and image quality. (I own several P&S and a couple of older SLRs) The menu is simple and intuitive. The lightweight is a welcome advantage when carrying it. The viewfinder is a little on the small side but will probably be used infrequently as the LCD is excellent. The viewfinder works great when you need it and provides an amazing amount of information - I can easily use it wearing my glasses.I was amazed at the quality of the pictures even using the digital zoom (72X magnification!) - I got pictures that I could never get with compact P&S and the quality was very good. Pictures in the normal optical range are amazing and the image stabilization is great. I am having a blast playing with all the features - It is just a FUN camera! I use it a lot more than I thought I would because it is so easy and fun. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!"
