This is my first digital camera.  I spent a lot of time researching what I wanted.  The camera had what I was looking for.  A large optical zoom at a price I could accept.  The images are great.  I love that I can attend school concerts and actually get close-up shots of my kids.  The best photos are in the daytime outside.  Very crisp and colorful.  The indoor shots can be a little dark.  But with a little tweaking on the computer it is easy.

 Downloading the imagage is easy, as is the software for organizing and ordering prints.  I would recommend this to anyone looking for a zoom!!...
