          This was.an upgrade from a compact. I have to say wow, everything from the camera to the easy to understand manual make this a must buy for anyone wanting to take a step forward in photography, I've been taking some great pictures, from landscape to close ups of flowers, and they all come out with excellent quality. They also include software for use on the imac, which was a.must for me.

              bought this for my good woman for Christmas, cannot stop using it myself....

              "making sure it works baby" does not hold water any more... I want one for myself now....

              Maybe it was a bad idea after all.....

                Shown near each camera, e.g: 3x optical zoom. The higher the number the closer you can bring the image.
