A very impressive camera for my outdoor scenery requirement. The 28mm equivalent lens gives superb wide angle shots, even in poor light - something my old Fuji A210 couldn't cope with - and the image stabiliser works well with most shots, although a few appear un-stabilised. I tend to take two or three shots of the same scene and have noticed varying sharpness when zooming in on the computer.
I have yet to use the camera indoors - something I rarely do, except when the grandchildren are around.

Problems:

I have yet to find a colour (sorry, color, - I'm English!) control. I have to reduce the saturation on most shots by about 20 points (using Adobe Photoshop Elements) to achieve a natural green. This affects the blue in the sky, so each frame requires considerable effort to achieve perfection. I must try more manual usage in future, but when walking in the mountains of the Lake District, I prefer full automatic operation for convenience.
