"Very good images, vibration reduction great on zoomed images"
What I like:
8 million pixels and good lens produce high quality photos, preset scenes. Loads of menu settings
What I don't like:
It's slow, writing files seems to take an age, even worse in RAW
Review:
If you're not in a hurry, this camera produces some fantastic images. The 15 preset scenes are very good, recently used it for a fireworks display and the images were excellent. Also has a panoramic mode that helps position each shot. A very good stepping stone before a DSLR. I have printed 16x12-inch images that are very sharp. A very good all-rounder.
