I wish I could have afforded a Cannon with interchangeable lens options. But until I can sell some 'money shots', I will stick to this one.

The camera performs like a high end point and shoot (with a CCD sensor instead of a CMOS sensor as found in DSLRs) with a few tricks up its sleeve. I use it primarily to photograph my 4 month old baby boy and find that it is sometimes easier to get a good candid shot of him from across the room (so he is not distracted by the camera). The 15x optical zoom allows me to take photos of him from about 10-15 feet and with the image stabilization (feels like a gyroscope when it is in use), I can get Macro focus shots without a flash from that distance! Nikon recently updated the firmware of the camera to support NiMH rechargeable batteries (will take about 600 shots this way vs. 350 with alkaline and 900 with lithium disposable batteries - http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16481/sort/4,2/r_id/116678 ) and I am using the camera with Sanyo eneloop "pre-charged" NiMH rechargeable AA batteries (about $12 USD for a 4 pack). So far, so good! Don't get me wrong, this camera is blown away by cameras with a CMOS sensor in image quality (as most DSLRs benefit from the higher quality sensor and store uncompressed images as well) and in low light but this camera takes excellent snap shots when there is adequate lighting. I need to experiment with dusk mode to get low light shots (as you can't manually adjust your ISO settings or shutter speed) but will need to mount the camera on my tripod to do so (as the shutter speed is a little too low even for the image stabilization to be effective) and I'd love to try some photos of the moon that way with the mega zoom! All in all, I am happy with my purchase of a camera that my wife is very comfortable using (whereas a DSLR intimidated her). She had a Nikon Coolpix L11 before this camera and the controls are nearly identical in both so there is no learning curve from Nikon's inexpensive point and shoots to this one. We paid $220 USD for this camera and are, thus far, happy with our purchase. I purchased one of these cameras and I am pleased with it so far.
