The camera is nice and portable, so I carry around quite a bit. The biggest con is the lack of zoom, which most point and shoots lack as that is not there main purpose.

Was not told that Manual was on the Camera - took a while to figure that out

I needed a camera I could carry with me at work. Great for photos of parts , ID numbers, small jobs in process. Very quick and intuitive focus.

Well I had purchased the camera for casual use and it seemed like a good buy for the buck.Features wise it's exceptional atleast on the paper (14 megapixil,7 optical zoom and 5 optical zoom).When i got the camera in my hand it didn't have the solid feel which i got while handling my old canon camera.It doesn't give you a compact feeling when you first look at it and reminded me of a big sized lego block.It's not sleek and won;t be able to fit in your pocket.The weight in itself of the camera is light and that contributes it to feeling like a toy when combines with it's shape.The colours of the picture at time are totally different to what the actual thing look like-i'm talking about indoor photography here.e.g my red tie was appearing almost black in the photo and my light blue shirt almost appeared white.So for indoor photography i probably won't recommend this camera.For outside use in parks and while you are for a walk-picture results are way better than the indoor ones and colours appear as they are supposed to be.So to conclude you should buy this camera if you are not interested in the general appearance and feel of camera;your primary use would be outside house while picture quality inside house don't really matter to you and camera with great specs on paper then this is your baby:>price was unbeatable by the way if you compare it with specs which were being offered on paper.
