I have to confess I'm not a 'camera' person-- I'm probably like most of you reading this-- just looking for a good camera that takes good pictures. We've had this camera for about a month, and honestly I'm not impressed so far. I had a Nikon before this one that was 4 years old and I accidently broke the LCD. I had been kinda wanting a new camera and now had the opportunity to shop.
I use my camera to take family and friends photos, inside and outside. I did a TON of research- read all the reviews, search several review websites and chose this camera. The pictures are less than stellar so far. Some blurry, grainy, the flash doesn't suffice. I have learned a little about the ISO and have attempted to adjust that to get better pictures, yet still nothing fantastic. I kinda wish I can return this, but at this point I don't think I can. All the product reviews said to look at the PowerShots or CyberShots, I definitely wish I had stayed with the Nikons.
I'll keep you posted, but if you are shopping for christmas, completely stressed out on what to get and a product research nerd like me, skip this one for now...

Best camera I have ever owned
I have had this camera for over a year. I have loaned it to friends. It has been tossed around, rained on, frozen, dropped and it still functions perfectly. The pictures are wonderful. Strongly recommend this one!

Great Camera
It's a great Camera and meets all your expectations...I bought it from amazon along with Kingston 2GB memory card and case logic camera case for $260/- and that's a steal....The pictures are great and the operations simple..I would highly recommend it and the pricing on Amazon is simply great...

Not happy at all with this camera.
it suffers from condensation collection which causes internal water damage. customer service will not fix or replace it.
They actually told me that I should carry it around in a plastic bag
every time I went from air conditioning to outside.
Since they couldn't fix it, they offered me a refurbished unit for more
$$$ then I can find it here.
