GREAT mid-sized camera!

Pros: Great photo quality, great video, great battery life.

Cons: Not for a novice! Need some photography know-how.

We finally dragged ourselves into the 21st century and purchased this digital camera (been using a 35 year old Cannon AE-1). It is fantastic. We are able to do everything that we did with the 35mm, and more (like take HD video). And if we don't w...ant to make the adjustments by hand, there are semi-automatic and automatic settings. This camera is not for a novice! But, for someone with photography knowledg, it's really fun to use!

Pros: alternative to SLR

Cons: would like a viewfinder

Pros: lens are interchangeable, display screen is large, button interface is great, the camera has good grip. besides it comes from a very great brand.This camera is not a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera. I have worked with many SLR's, and this i...s not one. The lens can be change out. The shutter speed is selectable, and picture quality is good. My sister's owns a Panasonic radioCons:
