As another posted, not sure of my qualifications or ability to do a detailed review of this camera, but I love and do my best. Having only ever used a Canon PowerShot SD610 cameras and cell phones before, this was a big jump for me.
I use the camera mainly for taking pictures of children and the flowers / gardens.
I read the manual and found it a great advantage (I've written and read techmanuals lots of manuals, and finding one is easy to use). With its use I tried all modes on the screen and use the Q - Quick Control to try different roles. Except for the exhibition "M" Manual, I have great photos (OK - Excellent / awesome for my standards, people in the photo blogging may disagree with my assessment of my photos:)).
The video capability is amazing, but it requires a fast card (Class 6 and above) I have a Class 10 and has a short delay when my son was working a room with low light. Grandparents can watch HD movies on your big screen.
The weight is a bit heavy compared to the point and shoot, but it feels good in your hands. I have larger hands and claws are very good, even when holding the camera for a long time.
Battery life seems good, I have yet to have the battery fails on me when I need it, but only had the camera a short time. Time will be the judge of this. I did it for a second battery (clone Canon, no OEM).
File size requires a decent size SD card (jpg high quality large. = 6.4 MB = 24.5 MB RAW), the camera supports SDHC and SDXC, I have a 16 gig SDHC Class 10 (A-Data 16 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash memory card 16GSDHC10 (Blue)). I do not know what the SDXC brings to the table, but if you pick up I'll update this review.
Way of life (as a reference point and shoot - LCD display shows the image capture) is ideal for video and can help when composing shots from different angles (shooting the dog to the ground - without kneeling). Is there a way of living with facial recognition and tracking, face chasing my kids around and gives me the right approach. The life is the only way I thought would be able to use, but I think the standard eyepiece to be very easy to use and has all the information you need.
I have the intention of this camera for next year and hope to one day rule all settings (expectations). I feel this camera is the perfect combination for my current capacity (A + I fully automatic shooting lets you take great pictures when using the camera as a point and shoot) and my desire to become a photographic artist I hope).
Anyone thinking of making the change point and shoot to dSLR should really consider this camera. I also suggest a camera bag and cleaning kit.
I posted some of my photos in the gallery of photos here in the Amazon.
