I have had this camera for over a year and unfortunately today the LCD screen shattered. I am so sad that I am going to buy another camera hopefully the same or similar model. It is extremely easy to use and takes great pictures. I am not sure how the screen shattered, but something probably landed on it or punctured it. I put it in my coat pocket (not in the case...my mistake) to go sledding with my kids and take pictures. Didn't make it sledding and somehow the shattering happened. Darn!
THIS IS AN AWESOME LITTLE CAMERA WE HAVE HAD IT FOR NINE MONTHS,LIKED IT SO MUCH WE BOUGHT A ST66. THE ST66 IS TOO NEW TO RATE BUT IS EQUAL IN GREAT PICS AND FEATURES ALSO.
I use this camera in the field for taking pictures on construction sites. Easy to use, good telephoto capabilities, easy to download images using whatever MS software came on my office lap-top. Depending on light conditions, colors can be a little muddy, that's why I use IRFAN or Photoshop to enhance images. Also, camera is fairly rugged - I've dropped mine on concrete a couple of times with no ill effects. In cold weather, keep it inside my jacked, no problem with lens fogging up.
Just been a week using it. It's very comfortable to hold. Slim and looks great. the picture quality is fine when you view them on PC or laptop but the LCD screen isn't that helpful. Image quality good, use your own program for great shots. I like this camera. I even bought a camera bag and it also fit my Jeans pocket.
