I am not the most tech savvy person, but I can work this camera without the help of a personal trainer! The pictures are very clear and sharp. It has image stabilization that keeps the photos from looking fuzzy - like some other cameras I've tried. The other positive note is that it lasts a long time on one pair of AA batteries. My daughter bought a different brand and is constantly having to put in new batteries. For around $100 this is, in my opinion, the best camera ever!
