I bought this camera in 2012 and have been using it for 3 years. I've been to Disney, Universal Studio, SeaWorld, Bush Garden, India and many other places. The camera works great. The most important feature of this camera is the aperture: F2.7-F5.9, which corresponds to a 24-120mm lens. For family, group or landscape shots, you need a wider angle. Aperture 2.7 means more light enters the camera and the image is clearer. All other features are fine and better found on other cameras. If you don't understand the importance of an aperture of 2.7, find an SLR lens that starts at an aperture of 1.8 or 2.0 and read their review. The cheapest among them is the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8. Only 4 starts due to poor battery life. With a compact camera, the battery lasts for a day of shooting (without video).
