I have hammered this camera for 2 years now and really like it. I use a monopod at 10x zoom and the pictures are sharp and the colors are good.It is my favorite camera- I rarely use my Canon 350 D and my Oly 720-SW. The C-750-UZ just fits my needs perfectly, so I'll just have to hope the SP-510-UZ I have just purchased will be as good or better.
