Good quality lens, good video quality, easy-to-use interface

Havnt figured out how to take clear night shots, shutter speed is a LITTLE to slow for some action shots (ie. cars, people moving really crazy)

I am a beginner when it comes to photography and I'd say this camera is very good for beginners. It has plenty of pre-set, auto options for many situations but it also allows you to fine tune some settings for those who want to get more in depth with the camera. All menus are easily accesible, buttons are easy to push, screen is easy to read. Camera has good weight, not to heavy, but not to small at the same time. Ive noticed that it eats through batteries rather quickly though. But the new E2 batteries or whatever they are, from Energizer, lasted me probably 6 times as long as regular batteries so I would suggest using those in this camera.
