Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this camera for about a year now and I'm extremely happy with the purchase. I've taken beautiful pictures with it and I've had some made into prints as large as 20" x 30" with excellent detail and clarity. The camera isn't quite commercial or professional grade but it does not claim to be so. The lenses that come with it are very high quality - though not top quality. Again, this is exactly what it claims to be.
I have been able to take a variety of pictures in different styles. I take plenty of nature shots and a lot of pictures of my dogs as they run around. I'm to capture them very easily without blurring or streaking in most lighting conditions (low light will definitely affect the autofocus - I like to use the burst mode to get the right pictures of the dogs and that doesn't go well if the lighting is too dim).
Just to test the camera's abilities, I took a flash shot of my ceiling fan on high speed and the camera was able to take a great picture of the blades such that the fan does not even appear to be on.
The attenuating screen has proven to be useful on occasion when I want to hold the camera high to get a picture over a crowd or obstacle but in reality I don't use it too often.
The video quality is very good. If I had a complaint here it would be that the video length is limited to 5 minutes. Also, be sure to use a high speed card or the video might cut out in much less than 5 minutes to catch up to the write.
The auto mode works very well and in most circumstances this camera works beautifully as a point-and-shoot but it also gives full control over shutter and aperture settings. I've enjoyed playing with some artistic use of extended shutter times in a pitch black room with a match.
Bottom line: if you are a professional or you are looking to take truly professional pictures then you probably aren't looking at this camera to begin with. If you are an amateur/consumer level buyer who wants to take beautiful pictures in high resolution then this camera is simply great. (Maybe I should have given it 5 stars.)
