This is a great camera, I have used it on several trips. I even took a shot of lightening that turned out great. I have good picture quality and if I use the lithium batteries, it will last for several days of shooting. I recently dropped it in the mud (completely covered), had it cleaned professionally and it is still working great. Have taken it on three trips since then. Easy to use and has multiple features for the more experienced photographer.
Overall, I am really happy with it.
