My wife calls this camera the mighty mouse. The quality of the lens is its strength. The features, including excellent video capabilities, are also top notch. The only area that's a little less than ideal is the lack of contrast when viewed in bright sunlight. You need to dim the LCD. However, this is true for most cameras.
