Excellent Close Up Camera

"I purchased this camera for my wife as a Christmas gift in 2008. [...]The camera has been a blast. The built in Image Stabilization works way better than I expected. I've taken photos of our 1.5yr old while she's jumping on the couch and the results were crystal clear images. The "SCN" (Scene) setting on the camera lets you switch to numerous pre-set settings for indoor, outdoor, kids (motion), snow, beach, etc...." Read Full Review »

"This camera has it all but the bulk of a large camera - the auto setting can handle everything but a bright backround with subjects and you can set that up in an instant. The manufacturer should include a decent memory card - make sure that you buy one - I went to an event and could only shoot 8 ph …" Read Full Review »
