This is my third digital camera and it is by far the best. It is easy to use, has a great zoom, and is reletivley small for the amount of stuff packed into it. The panorama assist is one of the coolest things that I have seen. After you take your first picture it super imposes 1/3 of it onto the next picture to help you line up your shot and make sure your overlaping the pictures and capturing everything. It is great for making 360 degree shots. I was really impressed with the zoom on this camera. I recently took a few pictures on the top of a mountain overlooking a lake. Without the zoom I could barely see the house on the other side of the lake a huge distance away (at least 1 km) but with the full optical and digital zoom I could clearly see the house and practically look into its windows. The optical zoom alone was very impressive, with the house taking up most of the frame. This compared to the little speck that it took up in the picture without the zoom. This camera is definatley a great buy. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a camera with reletivley high megapixels, great zoom, and an easy camera to use.
