Mom of 4 boys- I love this camera!
I'm just writing this review because of all the mixed reviews on this camera. I searched reviews for a WEEK on cameras- I'm very picky when it comes to an expensive electronic purchase. Well I bought a SonyW830 and returned it the same day- all the reviews made it seem like it was better than this camera so I tried it out & it had a good "shot" every 1 in 10 I took- literally. I have 4 boys so I needed something a little more reliable than that & something that's going to catch action shots so I am glad I returned it and decided to get this one! I bought the camera yesterday & took a few shots at home of my boys jumping around and obviously some came out blurry (it's a point & shoot not a DSLR) but majority of them got the shot with little to no blur. My real test was at the beach today! It does have a little problem with focusing on the right object but you just press the camera shot button down half way and it refocuses and usually gets what you wanted, then press the button all the way down and bam, perfect picture! (It's a quicker process than what it seems). The zooms' photos are also amazing! I'm really impressed with this camera and glad I spent the little extra money on it. I do feel like 200$ is a bit much, maybe around 160$ Would've been better but then again maybe that's because I'm cheap :-P - I never do reviews but just wanted to post one just in case someone else was stuck in between reviews on cameras like I was! :)
