I bought this camera to use in place of my bulky DSLR with lenses that are too luggable. And this camera can do it all! The zoom can be grainy at maximum usage, but without zoom the angle is pretty wide and the macro has two great settings: Normal and Ultra. The camera also has an amazing panoramic setting! There are many features, you need to read the instructions. The only negatives I have so far are the fit of the lens cap (loose, falls off) and the battery/SD card compartment is difficult to open and close, the plastic is cheap. Not for heavy use. The last few pictures I took while visiting some of the Tall Ships are amazing!
