Highlights include: very good x12 zoom. This brought images closer then my Nikon D80 which has a decent lense. The Auto function that h …"  Read Full Review »

I wanted something pocket sized that would give me a wider angle and longer telephoto lens that I was bringing …"  Read Full Review »

The auto-exposure bracketing makes for the processing of great HDR shots (though HDR software is not included).
