I like it - with a couple of exceptions

I like this camera. It's my first digital and it is easy to use. I have mainly used it for outdoor shots (all types of light-I live in Seattle)of cars (still) and gardens. The photo quality has been excellent. I have not had a problem with battery life using rechargeable batteries. The two minor inconveniences I find are the lag time between shots (especially when using the flash) and no view finder. The screen, though nice and large, can be hard to see clearly in bright light. For my purposes it is a nice little camera and I'm happy with it.
