    Camera is easy to use and review your shots. I use it for wildlife, landscape, and sports photography. I have also used it to take air show pictures that turned out really well. The zoom works well, both handheld and with a tripod. I've even been able to get pictures of the moon showing details of some of the craters.

    Great quality and features for the price! I was looking for a camera that I could get started on advanced photography with, for a decent price. I have not been disappointed at all. The zoom is so good that it works like a set of digital binoculars. Each feature has a scrolling marquee that tells you what its used for. Also very customizable. I have already had two people take note of the camera model after seeing photos like the one in the example.

    It takes clear pictures but the camera is WAY too slow to grab anything (even in sports mode) If you're new to working with cameras this is just good for stable shots in the right mode

    The new camera was needed for higher zoom and SD hold space. Shots are clean and the camera grip nice to hold. Dumping bad shot is easy and the lens cap simple to deal with. I Don't like the space SD chip goes into it should have been seperate from Batt port. All in all I love it. makes work easier.

    Purchased this camara when I left my camara at home while on vacation. It was an excellent camara. Uses double A batteries, so no battery to go dead right when you wanted to take a picture. Wonderful zoom lens, I got a lot of compliments on my pictures and I am an amateur photographer.

    No the best for night fotos or portraits in the dark to be more specific. Also is nor chargeable, it requires batteries which sucks because you have to constantly buy & replace the batteries on the camera to continue using. It takes great daytime photos and portraits though. Love the screen and how it allows you to more easily take photos front above or below your eye level aside from the batteries and the nighttime problem it is an amazing camera !

    Why Red? Because everybody gets a black camera. It fits nicely in my hand and is easy to use for simple shots. Only downside is the Video option is a button press and not a dial setting like other cameras I have had. Picture transfer to my PC is fast using the included cable. Macro mode took some great closeups of spring flowers. Zoom was more than adequate for capturing far targets. Great camera in a reasonbly priced package.

    I am in now way a professional photographer so I really did not want to invest a bunch of money for an expensive camera with all the lenses and a million settings I will never use. This has more options and setting than I need and am still learning to use a bunch. Takes what I think are excellent pictures for the price point. The pictures were taken while learning how to use it & I think they turned out pretty good.

    I'm vertically challenged so having a tilting display allows me to view pictures to insure they are in focus and centered before shooting. I can now take pictures above my head and see what I'm taking before the click. Pictures are clear and the telephoto lens is awesome!

    I bought this camera to take vacation pics and pics of kids at sporting events. I used it first at Wrestlemania and I was sitting about 50-60 yards from the ring. I was surprised at how good the pictures came out from that distance. Then used it again from the new dugout section at Wrigley Field. In low natural light again the pics cane out great.

    I bought this camera to take macro shots for my very shiny and reflective handmade glass beads. This camera was all I needed to get the detail of the bead with out a ton of glare on the glass. The zoom is amazing and I can get great detail from 200 yards away!

    Bought this for an overseas trip as the flat digital I had was difficult to hold. This was a great choice. Make sure to get the alkaline batteries they recommend as it gives a long life. The pics came out stunning. The zoom is easy to use. Crisp pics even when moving. Great purchase
