    Takes pictures extremely fast. Can take a picture within ~1-2 seconds of turning the camera on. Consecutive pictures come very quickly, even when charging the flash. One of the few point and shoot camera’s that will allow you to zoom in and out while shooting 720P video. I used to buy Canon camera’s exclusively, but I wanted to start shooting quick video clips of my kids, so I was specifically looking for a great point and shoot that takes acceptable video. I shoot video when something is happening, which usually means you would like to zoom to keep the action in frame. Takes great quality pictures. 4.6 optical zoom is also above average for this price point. Great for super close ups as well.

    Have been extremely happy with this camera, once I sent the first one back to J&R due to a spec of dust internal to the camera. I would give them one out of 5 stars for the extremely slow handling of my RMA.

    I think this is the best camera I have ever owned. It is a little old school looking, but I personally like it. The image stabilization is great, it’s got a built in wide angle lens, it zooms without the lens moving on the outside, it’s a very nice camera. I did my research before I bought this one and went to consumer reports and this camera had the highest ratings for the portable point and shoot cameras. Plus it is very affordable. Highly recommend this camera
