It's Just OK

I found this camara to be very average. Certainly for use outdoors, or used with the flash, as long as you stay within a reasonable zoom distance it's ok. Beyond that I found focusing to be a real issue. You get close to 10X or try to do any special lighting shots and it's hard not to come away with blurred pictures. I tend to have a slight tremor, which was the reason I chose the camara, since I was lead to believe it had the best stabalizing capability. It doesn't, and I have since handed the equipment to my sister and now use a small Sony for most everyday and vacation shots. The reliable 30 year old Canon AE1 with film still gives me the more professional pics when needed. I don't feel the camara, due to the above mentions, and the size is worth the money.
