Great camera!!!!!
I have own so many cameras over the past years and by far this is the best!!!!
The zoom is great, I only use the optical zoom and its awesome still gives great detail to the picture.
The AUTO mode is the best, I do not have to be choosing the scene it, the only thing that I do sometimes is to cancel the flash for some pictures.
In terms of focusing, It has the option to pop up a small screen so you can see better what are you focusing on. It has the face recognition so that it would give priority during exposure which works great.
For a mom of two, highly active kids I adore this camera, it gives great picture and is easy to carry in comparison to an SLR.
The only thing is the battery life, I plan on buying one or two extra batteries for trips and I carry the charger on my purse at all times. I guess that's a little inconvenience for such a smart little camera.
btw IT NEEDS A MICRO SD CARD I invested on a 16 GB, to replace the two 4GB SD Cards I had with my previous camera.

Great pictures, especially Macro
Light, compact, great pictures. Awesome zoom.
Heard lots moan about battery, but had no issues so far with them, but not been out taking hundreds of them, but so far, so good.
Great macro pictures.
Controls hard to use especially in the dark, would be nice if they glowed or could be back lit.

Awesome little camera
I wanted a camera that would let me take great night shots outside and good pictures indoors without a flash. This camera certainly fits the bill. I was able to take amazing pictures that were super crisp. I really like that it has a 12x optical zoom--amazingly clear picture even when far away. The camera is light and small and perfect for vacations and everyday use. The only drawback that I discovered was that after being in certain mode, like low light mode, or when recording videos the battery would drain very quickly. On vacation, I had to charge it every day.
