Excellent P&S

This is the best point and shoot out there. Image stabilization works great to give terrific low light pics without flash. Solid construction with an incredible 3" screen you will love using this. Shutter lag is short for a P & S. Only knock is the multi selector i-pod style 'wheel' is annoying at times if you have large hands. The photos rival slr quality and the super compact size of the camera means you'll be comfortable bringing this camera anywhere.
