Review:
This was a distress purchase, after losing my camera on the first day of a two week tropical holiday (doh!). In such circumstances, I was prepared to be disappointed with my purchase. To my surprise and satisfaction, this camera just gets better and better with use. It is solid and dependable, yet flexible and responsive. I'm making full use of all its features, yet the controls are so intuitive I've yet to read the manual - all the main features are accessible with simple yet positive thumb movements. The quality of the photographs is very pleasing, benefiting from very effective image stabilisation. An excellent all round camera (as my 550 holiday photographs testify).
