Hey, I have one of those! I'm still learning how to use it, but I love how it can take still shots and video at the same time. :)

Have fun with it! :)

I'm loading some pictures now.

I'm not sure if i'm going to be keeping it. I love the fact that it has such an awesome zoom, but it's pretty pointless in my area. The pictures i've taken are okay, to me, but not what I want.

I may return it and get a PowerShot A95. I have the A80 and had the A60.

It may just be I don't fully know how to use it completely. It's not that hard and I know how to do basically everything with it... but i'm not happy with the picture quality.


I'm going to play around with it more and see if I find some more things I like about it. If not, it may be going back to the store. ;)

I just bought the same camera on Tuesday. I like it so far. Still learning some things on it. Taking it to the concert tonight, so we'll see how much I like it after that. ;)

Congrats Kay :). I kow what you mean, there is no point in keeping it if you are not going to be happy with picture quality, better to get something you are going to be happy with. I got a new cam today but have to wait until after work tomorrow to play :p.

That's too bad that the quality isn't great...I have the A95 and I really like it...good quality too

I'm going to keep it after messing around with settings and looking at some pictures, the pictures are quite good. I just REALLY need a tripod now because they come out blurry with zoom unless I'm completely still.

Ok, after trying to use it at the concert last night, I've discovered that I like my old camera much better. Luckily, I took my old Olympus with me too, so I was able to get some decent pics. :)

Like you said Kay, you can't use the zoom without a tripod which renders this thing pretty much useless for what I want to use it for.

Back to the store for mine. I chose this one over another model, so I think I'm going to exchange it for that one and give it a try.

Micki, did you try using it at a higher ISO speed??
My friend Brian said I wont need a tripod for it, but he had to go to work so he's going to teach me a bit more about it when he gets home.

I really like the camera now that i've used it a bit more. Just takes getting used to and knowing how to use it.

Micki i am not sure what you think of Panasonic cameras, but the Lumix camera's have image stabaliser ;). Mine (Panasonic, Lumix fz5) had to go back today because the lense got jammed up after the sales guy played with it when i bought it, so they are sending me a new one.

The Canon S2 IS (model Micki is tlaking aobut) has an image stabalizer, too. :)
