My Review 

This camera is a dream. There is nothing you can't do with it. I use it weekly. It has great battery life and low noise at high ISOs, and it employs noise reduction. It has a high resolution electronic viewfinder, good flash performance, and a fast autofocus!

Camera "pros" 

Movable view screen, quick start up, f2.4, capture rate up to 13 shots in 12.4 seconds, good indoors and out, an all-magnesium body, two media slots, delivers sharp and well saturated and true to life color images, even the digital zoom is one of the sharpest I've seen.

Camera "cons" 

It takes time to learn everything about the camera.

How is the image quality in good lighting?
