Diana S. Treglown member since: 5/22/2006	Rating: 3.5 out of 5 I love the clarity I get from the 10X zoom lens, and the fact that I can change lenses on this digital camera. I find that it takes awesome shots outdoors, but indoor shots are not as good. I also find that using the tripod is essential for clear, steady shots. 5/22/2006 12:31:58 PM
Amy E. Thomas member since: 5/7/2006	Rating: 3 out of 5 Its a tank. It is the longest lasting point and shoot I have ever owned. I travel a lot and bang them up good and this one has been around for a good 2 years. Pretty easy to handle but overall a good camera. 5/7/2006 4:39:44 PM
Joan Nodwell member since: 4/26/2006	Rating: 4 out of 5 I love my camera! It takes great shots and gets great color. It takes a few seconds to actually take the picture after you click the button and to reset so have missed some action shots and I'm having trouble getting things focused on very close-up shots but that's probably a "user" error :) vs a camera problem. 4/26/2006 7:26:44 AM

Laurie Crouse member since: 3/25/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 This is the best digital camera I have ever owned, it has an 10x optical zoom! The pictures I have taken with this camera have always exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this camera for any photographer! 3/25/2006 2:16:50 PM
