Great for it's price!
Reviewed by Chris (Casual Photographer) from Chicago, IL on May 20, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a great deal! The only drawback is that the camera is A LOT thicker than it appears in the picture. Make sure you actually read the dimensions and are okay with it before you purchase it. But if you just want a camera to take pictures with when you go out and travel with but don't want to spend the big bucks because camera depreciates faster than cars, then this is the one for you!
Cons: Bulky
Pros: Great Zoom, Easy to Use, Great Resolution, Good sized screen, Nice Features and Settings
Best Uses: Home, Sports/Action, Everyday Photos, Weddings/Events
