The Bottom Line: Great camera huge feature set. High quality 8.1 MegaPix. Movie modes. lots of photographic settings for speed and aperture for manual shots also fully automatic for point and shoot.

Review: This is a great camera. it does things no other camera I have ever owned can do. For example, the zoom capabilities are amazing. All in one lens you will get a 35mm equivalent of 27mm wide angle to 486mm telephoto. The users manual is all in English and ...

Pros: Good feel, photos and price. Great for photos of whales, seals, pelicans and people.

Pros: Controls easy to navigate.

Cons: Grainy pictures.

Review: Was supposed to detect up to 10 faces-was lucky to be able to detect one. Pictures all very grainy, my old Kodak takes better picts. Poor software. Returned to the store after 2wks. I did like the auction mode, and the camera controls were easy to ...
