Great investment for an amature

Overall, I think it's a great little camera. I've had 16x24" professional emlargements made of several shots and they look very good. I'm in a push to advance my photography career, so I need a high pixel camera, but this little workhorse has helped me sell enough images to save for a SLR.

I do have a couple complaints —

I'm constantly hitting the menu button and an odd assortment of buttons on the back of the camera with my thumb every time I pick up the camera! Frustrating when you're trying to catch a quick shot.

I also have trouble with blurred photos. If the light is odd or just slightly dim, then half of my shots come out blurred. Perhaps I'm not setting something correctly and it's user error — but I certainly can't figure out any way to fix it.

Not having RAW capability is also a problem. The flash is only "okay". And does anyone else notice that the camera get VERY warm when you're taking several photos? Surely that can't be good for it!

I do not have an adapter or wide angle — wish I did for landscapes. But I don't want to spend the extra money.

All in all, a great camera for amatures. Just wish I could figure out a way to correct the blurred photos.
