NOV

2007

When I was shopping for a camera I wanted something that was easy to use right away without having to read a manual to just take a photo. This camera takes great shots. I like the zoom lens that auto focuses right away. It takes great action photos without the blur that I would get on my older camera. The LCD screen is large enough to view photos completely. You can view and enlarge each photo to see the background detail easily.

This camera can be used by a novice like myself and a more advanced user.

The one thing I would have liked to have is a memory to hold a few photos without the card.
