An excellent camera for the money!!
(Ben - 6/22/09)For those who cannot afford a D-SLR, this camera ranks up there as one of the best cameras you can get. Its solidly built, and takes fantastic pictures. It's strongest point for me is black and white. It seems to pick up amazing contrast and clarity and can make for some absolutely stunning photos. On color it works very well too, however, it isn't as vivid as in b&w mode. It's by no means bad in color mode, it just seems to be a tad better at black and white. As a beginner camera this works great too. Through trial and error you can slowly wean yourself off the auto mode. With a little time, a beginner could learn to take better photos in manual mode. As i mentioned earlier, the build quality is excellent too. I can't tell you how many times i've dropped this thing, yet it still is solid as a rock. Excellent for traveling.
