I have one of these myself. Once you have found your way around the menus etc it is easy.I purchased mine 2 months before going to Alaska for my hols. What a pleasure it is, the only thing that caught me out was finding the flash! I knew it was there I was looking for a button but no you just lift it (simple or what?)I must have had my thick head on. The picture quality is amazing, the zoom is wonderful the transition from SLR to the Dimage is good ( I never thought I'd change over to digital) you can still have total control. So impressed was my travelling companion, that on our return to the UK she also purchased the Z1. She no longer has the tops of heads or feet cut off etc. The only thing that annoys me is the little tune it plays on starting up and closing down not much use when wild life are the object of your interest. Small price as you can leave it on stand-by . Hope you have not been too bored
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Hi. Welcome to ciao. A nice review yet a little short. You should try and imagine that someone wants to purchase this camera and is relying on your information to let them know if it is worthwhile. You could say if there are any specific functions on this camera. How does it rate compared with others on the market? What about price and availability? Hope this helps and if you do add any more details let me know and I will take another look. Good Luck.

Doesn't tell us enough information. You need to include things like the battery life, lens size, zoom scope, specific functions, accessories etc etc. If you put more information in, drop a note in my guestbook and I'll be happy to re-rate.
