I bought this camera last year. I am sastified with this camera. There are many useful modes to take a good picture:
1) Sport : it's very good to take a photo for moving objects. The quality of picture is very fine.
2) Night : to take picture in the night time
3) Camera : to record a camera
4) TV : to output pictures or camera to Tivi screen through video mode
5) Portrate : to take a portrate picture
it has some other modes but I cannot remember exactly.
Above mode is very usful for me. I often use them.
The quality of picture is very nice. You can choose many resolution levels up to 6 Mpxl depends on your purpose.
It also has optical zoom. so you can take a good picture from long distance. It supports multiple languages. User interface is friendly and easy to use. It has many functions: create new folder, delete, format, red-eye mode , auto flash... User Manual supports you fully to use all of features at that camera. I have used it for one year without any problem about hardware. About Price, It is little expensive than I bought. Last year I bought this in Korea. The cost was nearly 400$.
It brings me good value for that money I spent.
