I bought this camera for my friend's birthday in June 2011, in general we are very happy with it. Image quality is good in low light and very bright shots, also does well with the motion shots we captured (mostly tube time), good shots in the dark. The camera's features and menus are easy to use, although I didn't like the software that came with it, but it's easy enough to copy and paste files as if you were using a flash drive. Very happy with the overall quality of the camera, although I would recommend buying a second battery and taking your charger with you if you travel. I also have to say that I was satisfied with the scalability and clarity.
