It's a great camera. It gives great results. I really hope that you enjoy it 
and that you get some fantastic shots with it. I am having great luck with 
mine. My only comment is that I has all the features of a large DSLR packed 
into a small body. It may take a bit of practice and getting used to. But, I 
is we'll worry the effort.
