Very Good Camera/ Excellent Accessory Package This is one of several digital cameras I have used over the years. I did a lot of homework and a lot of reviewing before selecting this camera. It arrived just in time for an international trip that I had planned. (FYI..the pictures from this trip came out great!) I am not a photographer--I am just a regular girl who loves to snap pictures of her friends and her surroundings. For this purpose, this camera is wonderful. The picture quality is superb in the daylight, the controls are easy to use, and the camera is very small and light-weight. I enjoy using the Zoom feature and it does a decent job. The optical zoom is very good. I will say the digital zoom is fair at best. The pictures become a bit grainy with the digital zoom. This is one reason I did not give this camera 5 stars. Another reason this camera does not get five stars is because of the responsiveness of the zoom. When using the optical zoom, the control is almost too sensitive and it zooms and unzooms very quickly, often more than you want. When you cross the "bridge" to the digital zoom, the zoom control is VERY slow. Another thing making this a four star camera, is that the quality of pictures at night is poor. Obviously, when what you are photographing is close and you have the flash, things are fine. Overall, I'd rate this camera very good. The entire kit that I bought I'd actually rate as excellent. It comes with several useful accessories (for me the most useful have been the USB flash card adapter and carrying case) and for a good price. The price for the entire kit here is almost equal to the price of the camera alone in most stores I visited. I can see why this probably isn't the camera for a very serious photographer, but I am very pleased with my purchase.
