Cons

Cost more than I had budgeted for

NOV

2007

This is an excellent camera. I rarely take photos now, but when I do the quality is superb. And I love the fact that it has manual controls, which I use 90% of the time. The details of of the photos are clearly seen as you set and change your manual controls. It is nice, light and compact- wherever you go!
