I HATE auto tracking

Camera is not intuitive and user can be over-whelmed by features that only take up space and don't really seem to improve photo quality. I've been searching for instructions on how to disable certain features but the manual doesn't provide the information. Image quality is not as good as my old PowerShot. Disappointed in this camera and will find a replacement asap.

dont waste your money

I purchased this camera because I love to take pictures of all the wild life in our area. I wanted a good zoom That plus when the grandkids are here I always have a camera ready on short notice for the cute things that happen. well the camera was really clumsy to hold and the flip out LCD screen was terrible. It wobbled and just the slightest movement it would move and then you lost what you were trying to see. The built in view finder was ridiculous. You couldnt see through that if you tried. The other bad idea was that you have to manually flip up the flash option. If you forget and you are in a dark place you have just lost your precious moment. I returned the camera and found something else with better options.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Slooowww shot to shot time

Nice camera. Shot to shot time is horribly slow - in the range of two seconds. Focusing could be quicker too. The zoom is great, love the optical viewfinder, and the twist screen is great for shooting over crowds or down low. I'd buy something else next time though, because of the slow shot to shot time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
