I bought a refurbished unit from Jessops for just over £100. Have had absolutely no problems with it and it takes sharp shots. You can use automatic settings or use any of the preset settings to take shots and even use the fully manual settings to get the right shot. It not being an slr in the full sense of the word, it sure is close to one. It may take a bit of time to get used to it afterall, there are so many settings which they've tried to tuck away under a few clicks and twists.

You will need a tripod when taking shots using the full zoom as it is difficult to get a sharp shot at such level of zoom power. 10x zoom is no joke. It's really powerful.

The Flash is excellent and has a rather good range and takes some really nice shots at night with a tweak of the settings. It also has a wide angle, bracketting and multishot settings. You can also chose between 4 picture sizes and enable the digital zoom as well (which I hardly ever need).

If you're thinking of upgrading to a more professional camera without the high price like I was some months ago. This is certainly a camera you should consider. It's truly loaded. It might not be as popular as some of the other brands but you are not losing anything in terms of features and durability.

Wasn't too tripped about having to read the manual on the cd. Prefer a book you can just flip through or carry with you. It comes with some software you can use to obtain the settings of the lens when taking the shot, which is handy when sending your pictures in for competitions.
