However, some users mention that the battery life could be improved, and the lack of a tilting screen is a drawback for certain shooting styles. Overall, the camera receives positive feedback for its features and value.

    after contacting the manufacture, I found a detailed book on how to use the camera, which I printed out and have been using. It would be good to have something in-between,

    I did research on this camera and bought it for xmas. Easy handling and setting are easy but the negative that I have with this camera is that you have to wait for this camera to focus and can be frustrating. I will be looking for a more $$$ so I don't have this program.

    Easy to operate with terrific results, even on "auto". Terrific for the beginner and also somewhat experienced novice photographer. Light weight and not bulky. Enjoyable!

    Bought the camera to replace my old Canon. Needed something quick for a family wedding that was easy to use, zoom and focus capability and the eyeshot or screen. This camera had it all. Only drawback is multiple quick shots (i.e. sports action shots) because the camera is focusing.

    This camera is easy to use. I like that it has the ability to switch between camera and video on the side of the camera without having to go through menu options.

    It works well. No issues at all. I was gifting it and I was not willing to spend more. For personal use, I would spend a little more and get a DSLR camera.

    I bought this camera while on vacation. The sales person helped me find a great deal and was very helpful in my decision to buy this model. I am very pleased with my decision. Best Buy has always been my top choice whether I am buying appliances such as washer/dryer or buying a car stereo.

    Camera provides high quality photos, from long range to close up. I chose it for this capability, since I often take close-ups of documents and smaller objects, as well as wildlife from a distance.

    The pictures resolution is good but the zooming pictures take a little bit to take and you may not capture the scene if it is moving.

    We bought this to capture our kids in their sports, mainly soccer, and the camera has been excellent. It will alert you if the picture will not turn out at the setting you have it on so that you can adjust. There are several options so it is taking some time to learn all the features but is also just an excellent point and shoot camera.
