Best camera I've ever owned.It has features found on larger SLR's such as shutter speed & red-eye reduction.The several shoot modes such as portrait allows for close ups as well as a scenery mode which allows for sharp vivid photos of foilage as well as sunsets.A marvelous little camera and the size being slightly bigger than a pack of cigarettes allows you to take this anywhere without the bulk of some of the SLR's and their required lens.Too many features to list here.Try one for yourself you'll be amazed.
