I love my new camera! I'm an average camera user and probably easier to please than the more tech-savvy photographers, but I'm really enjoying this purchase. I use it for leisure, but I do want to take "frameable" artistic shots now and then, and I've gotten some great pictures already.
It's so compact, yet the touchscreen is big and makes the camera very easy to use. The menu is simple, which is great when you're trying to get a shot and need to hurry to change the settings. It's intuitive and quick. My pictures have turned out with very vivid color and look just like what I'm seeing in person. The settings are so easy to access, I've found myself using them more than I did with a non-touchscreen, and in return I'm getting better pictures in a variety of environments.
The size of the touchscreen is nice and it doesn't feel as fragile as I'd worried. It has a rubbery feel that resists scratches.
I love the lens cover that you simply slide up or down to uncover the lens and turn the camera on. The camera is heavier than I expected, but it's very compact and feels sturdy. I really appreciate that it comes with a wrist strap. My camera is dark grey, which I find sleeker and more interesting than the standard silver.
I also enjoy the extra features I didn't think I'd care about, like the smile detector and the scrapbook creator. The smile detector doesn't capture the most natural smiles because there's a delay while you wait for it to detect a smile, but it's really neat technology and fun to experiment with. And I've actually used the scrapbook feature, which easily creates a scrapbook from your pictures with the style you select. It's makes it more fun to share pictures on your camera with others. There are many other features I appreciate too, like the Image Recognition, soft background setting, etc.
The camera comes with a USB and multi A/V so you can share pictures on a tv screen, which is nice when you're sharing with a group. And I love the battery charger. It's much more portable than the old cord versions.
I thought seriously about getting something less expensive, but I'm really happy with this purchase. I can't think of a single complaint. The technology and touchscreen are worth the upgrade. The touchscreen makes it easier and faster to use, I love the camera's size, my pictures have come out great, and the easy-to-use menu, extra features, and cool factor of the slide cover make it a very satisfying purchase.
