I use this camera for family and travel and so far its been great. Its quick to set up and easy to learn. I've gotten some very good photos in the recent New England snow storms shooting skiers and ice skaters. The camera for the most part has taken better action shots than I expected. However its not particularly good in low light but takes acceptable photos. The one problem I've had is having no view finder makes it difficult to see what you're shooting in high levels of light, like a blindingly sunny day in the snow! Other than that I love it and would definitely recommend it.

I enjoy the fact that it is compact, the small size is deceiving, the image quality is surprisingly good with the proper settings and conditions. I use it in every day life. The flash could be stronger and the low light sensitivity could be improved but in overall comparing this camera to more expensive models it does pretty good.

I've researched cameras, and found this to be a terrific value. And Abe's of Maine offered the best price!
