Having owned this camera for a couple of years now i have to say that for taking pictures of landscapes and other large far away objects that don't use the zoom it is good. However it seems to have trouble taking pictures of things that are nearby, i've tried many differn't settings including auto in case it was my fault for exploring the menus but i always feel slightly let down by the pictures of nearby objects. The menu is easy to navigate and clear and changing shooting modes is simple. The camera only has a 3x optical zoom which isn't great all the time and the use of full digital zoom makes finding the target on the screen very difficult, as with most cameras. Overall though i like this camera it has taken some very good landscape photos for me which i can't complain about and it looks really good with a large screen on the back/
