I just purchased one for my girlfriend!. It's relatively user friendly!. It's capable of full manual function which comes in handy as the image stabilizer (IS) is just okay when you use the zoom function!. If you set the shutter at a high enough speed you can achieve some nice crisp pictures when increasing focal length!. Aperture is variable from 2!.6 to about 5!.6 depending on zoom, so it's good to be able to adust your ISO and shutter speed!. And use the optical zoom for best resolution!. This also will increase the size of the image in the viewfinder (unlike the digital zoom feature)!. You'll need a good battery charger (Duracell makes one that can charge the NiMH AA batteries)!.

Has some nice "pro" menu functions!. You can choose to use the flash or not!. It's an easy enough camera to learn!. Basically, it's not a bad camera!. Ease of use is the key!.

Did I mention easy to use!? ; ^ )Www@QuestionHome@Com
