So it's not only an excellent camera, but a decent camcorder in one! The picture quality is amazing, the 9MP resolution makes possible to make good crops.The one thing I miss on this camera is the optical viewfinder. Sometimes in bright sunlight it is really a pain to use the LCD. A few words about the LCD - it is crisp and bright, pretty high resolution. This camera gives a few manual settings too, although not as many as the Canon cameras, for example sometimes I miss the manual focus, when the automatic is trying to focus on someting else than I would like to.In summary, I like this camera very much and I can highly recommend it.Pros: 10x zoom, usable while recording video, resolution, looks and feelCons: no optical viewfinder and manual focus This camera has a few great and rare features that makes it a best buy. 10x zoom in a compact camera, HD video recording, using zoom while recording and a wide angle lens.

I think this is the best compact camera currently on the market. The wide angle lens and the huge zoom makes possible to produce some excellent photos. The preset settings are working well, I'm able to make nice shots in every condition, sunlight or a dark room, the camera did not disappoint me. The HD video feature is another nice addition which is missing from most of the concurent products I was looking at prior to the purchase.Due to it's size it's perfect for travel and to bring it everywhere, it is very pocket friendly. It is very easy to use, I'm familiar most of the settings but I have no idea what is in the manual :) I'm happy with the purchase, I would by this camera again.Pros: wide angle lens, 10x optical zoom, HD videoCons: none I'm aware of Before I went to purchase a compact camera I have read many reviews and forums and at the end I went with this one.
