I am playing dSLR for 3 yrs, I bought this to use for cases I don't want to carry heavy equips. The IS with micro motor makes it zoom and focus fast. I also love the 12x zoom. I took it to shoot animals in a zoo, and got stunning results. Without comparing to similar products I should point out following not-so-perfect facts:
(1)As what I also say, best camera only standout when conditions are not ideal. When I take this camera to shoot in room. The noise compared to my 40D is not acceptable at ISO800. This camera is almost useless at ISO800. At ISO400 only good enough for newspaper. But below ISO 400, the picture, especally video are great.
(2)Another problem is relative. The operations are through menu, which feels no good for catching moment. But maybe compared to other consumer level cameral, it is the way it should be.
(3)ALSO it sucks is its DC input-- non standard plug.
I hate non-standard. I have to buy everything for each electronics?! My house is already filled with cellphone chargers.
(4) the viewfinder is too small to be useful. why does the camera need a small LCD viewfinder which is very hard to use? maybe its 10x zoom does not allow a optical viewfinder, which saves whole lots of energy, but the LCD resolution is disappointing on this camera.
(5) No raw format support.
