I bought this camera before 2-3 years. it was nice start with its bettery was awesome and also pictures click by it was also good as DSLR . it also has 30X zoom which is quit good and it was complete package of like DSLR . but now these day its battery not working properly and its photo selecting wheel also not working .
and after a long time its camera quality also going down and photo quality is little blurred now.
if you guys planing to take camera for proper professional type photos then do not choose any SLR camera . you should go to DSLR .
and if you plannig a camera for 2 or 3 years then best option for you is SL 300 of finepix.
