Great overall camera

Very pleased with the camera. Battery life is very long. Took it on a trip to Germany and with using the 2" LCD screen to take all photos, deleting a number of pictures and taking in excess of 330 photos the battery did not need recharging. Just imagine how many picture I could have taken on one charge if I only used the tradition view finder! The easy of use could also not be better, easy software to use and the ability for the software to automatically merge several shots of the same panoramic view all into one picture is impressive. For long distance night shots, the additional flash would have useful. Digital zoom is incredible and the pictures are not pixilated either. I strongly recommend this camera.
