A pretty solid camera really.   It does take a bit to learn and get used to, but at the price, it is a pretty good camera.  Pretty solid auto features and manual over-rides.  15x zoom is awesome and the steady shot is pretty good.  The built in flash has a terrific range of something like 45 feet, and the wide lens goes all the way out to 30mm, which is pretty solid.  The sports mode stop action is terrific, and I have taken tennis pictures with the 15 zoom all the way out at indoor courts and stopped action.  It gets a bit noisy in low light, but aren't they all.  Also, I wish it used...
