What the camera is really excited me:
- Very easy! (3x felt the SLR of my fellow passengers were so difficult - And that need an extra zoom lens)
- Very fast focusing
- Huge zoom range
- The sharpness
- Long battery life
- Good image quality - even in automatic mode!
- Portable LCD Display
- Be able to make say 12 images at 12 MP / second - The "burst" mode
(Especially for "snapshots" from the Jeep a great thing :))
From the picture quality I see no real difference to the images of my fellow travelers - although they have taken with SLR cameras.
I can only give the camera a perfect score! :)
