Image quality is one of the best for this category of camera |

if you take many pix's, consider moving on to a Digital SLR, which I am. |

If you want a good camera at an afforadble price this is the camera for you. If you are looking for more tools then move on to a Digital SLR. |

| Pros |
Great photos at 8 megapixels, panorama shots, viewfinder |
| Cons |
Awkward on-off and controls |
| Bottom Line |
I recommend this pocket camera for someone who wants to do more than just point and shoot. You're looking for a viewfinder, high pixel count, and small size. |
