I have this camera, its like a mini SLR. Lens can be changed if I need to. I have found a big lens but its stock lens is more that enough for me.
I love the camera, the picture quality if very great even to very low light conditions. Though some of its features I dont understand much, lol^^ Seems purposed for very advanced users^^

Its video mode has nice features too ang gives an output very impressive for a still camera equipment.
Its macro shots are also great though i need to learn more on how to use the very rich features it has. Its made also from the great digic 3 processor.
Others who have or had this, please share.........
