I'm returning it
(Laurie - 7/1/09)I bought the FE 5010 while on vacation because our old camera started taking very blurry shots (it was about 8 yrs. old and we were planning on replacing it soon anyway). I took over 100 pics without reading the manual cover to cover (I briefly scanned it) and many of the pics didn't come out well at all (blurry, dark, etc). I figured it was because of my lack of knowledge about the camera so I came home from vacation and read the manual in depth. I'd like to think I'm a fairly intelligent person but this manual was confusing and was certainly not "user friendly." I set the modes to what I believed would give me better shots and I began experimenting. The pics didn't come out much better than before reading the manual. This camera is new to the market and I feel that it has great features but isn't equipped to take beautiful, clear shots. Luckily the store I purchased it from said I could return it within 30 days if I was not happy with it. I'm going to that store today to make the return.
