<p>Hello Charles, I have this camera and I can honestly say that I was stunned at what it can do. Not to say that every shot is a keeper but it takes pretty darn good shots. It takes very close macros and quite decent "normal" shots, although I do wish it shot RAW. The (automatic-switching) "optical" viewfinder is quite detailed and bright (unlike so many others that are blurry and dim. The grip is very "nikon-ish" and can accommodate my large hands. It has a 67mm <strong>glass</strong> lens & takes regular SLR lens caps plus filters. If you want an all-things-to-all-people camera that you can carry in a small bag, this is the one. It takes about .7 seconds between shots (which is quite fast) and has dozens of choices for taking photos (PASM etc.) including the "Moon" mode which focuses past infinity, Bird Watching plus many many more. Video is 1024 @ 60fps as well. I would buy it again.</p><div></div>
