Good camera

While I'm not camera expert I do consider myself a "permanent tourist". I use my camera everywhere - from Afghanistan to my home town to my local neighborhood. It has great startup time and takes cool video clips. It slips in my pocket or in my car door storage with ease (anywhere for that matter). The zoom is not super great but it definitely captures all of life's moments. The screen is pretty tough.

Now for the bad:

I wish I could by pass the cradle for easy charging and transferring of images.

The door could be hard to grip when sliding open.

Horrible screen lighting in direct sunlight.

Photos in darkness are pretty much hit/miss. It'll take some learning to use the camera.
