Have the camera ordered shortly before the England vacation, the old Digi bitchy suddenly rum. As usual Amazon speedy delivery, all salvation. Could not try much before the holiday, went off the same bus. As an absolute amateur photographer with little idea I came very well with the camera. First impression: A "monkey horny" Zoom, good lightning. With a single charge (4xAA mignon 2500) made 216 pictures, Respect! Technical features I have not maxed out because you have to take a bit of time. The Holiday pictures super good, but there is still more. Is on vacation halt nix for breast or trouser pocket. Camera Case 14.- at Saturn buy, space for camera, memory cards and spare batteries ready. For 194.- for my needs absolutely to be recommended.
