I bought this camera for a trip to England, and shot 4 rolls while I was there. Worked very well indoors and out, the autofocus was crisp, and having a decent zoom lens thrown in was a real treat. When you're letting the camera do all the thinking, the resulting images are solid. The panoramic mode works surprisingly well, with negligible distortion at the edges.Things get more complicated when you want to take control to produce custom shots. Changing flash settings, exposure or apeture settings require combinations of controls that are difficult to remember off the top of your head, so I spent a fair amount of time with my head buried in the instruction manual.I also had some overexposure problems with the built-in flash in one situation, but it was a tough metering situation.a
