Great For Action Shots! Nice Camera.

Author's Rating:

Pros: Great for action shots, convertible monitor, nice video!

Cons: A bit large and heavy. Flash isn't enough in low light.

The Bottom Line: 
A solid, well made, easy to operate and functional camera, but not the most portable.

Author's Review
I received this camera as a gift from my husband. We also purchased the larger memory card.

This camera takes some of the best action shots I have ever seen!

I do sheep herding with my dog and have gotten some professional quality shots of the dogs and sheep in action.

I also have two kids and find it easy to get clear shots of them in action!

I have also used the video function and am very pleased.

It is easy to connect to my pc and retrieve photos. It is also easy to take the cf card to a store and print out photos.

The flash isn't really sufficient for taking pictures in low light situations and the size of the camera is somewhat limiting - it's larger than some, so I can't just toss it in my purse and go to the zoo - it's a bit like carrying a brick around with me.

But it takes a nice picture and the convertible monitor made it possible for me to hold the camera over the crowd and get a good shot of my daughter in her school concert!

If you are looking for a good camera that you will keep for a long, time, it's worth the price!
