4 out of 5 eggsAwesomness!

Pros: The camera is light weight, very simple to us. I got this camera for my mom because it looked simple enough and shes really bad with technology. I usually use a DSLR but i liked it so much i kept it for myself. Soooo easy to use and takes amazing pictures. Screen is huge.
Got it 2 days after ordering on regular shipping.

Cons: The on button is a bit small so kinda annoying to turn on, but most cameras area like that now. grrr
The screen gets fingerprinty really quick but thats all cameras. grrr again

Other Thoughts: The picture looks good but not great at first on the screen but when transfered to the computer or printed they look perfect.

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect Camera

Pros: Considering I am going to be using this for 4 months while I travel Italy and all of Europe I have to say the continuous shooting mode is the best. I have only used the camera for a few days, but I can say that I have yet to find a flaw or a potential problem.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Have to love the fact you get the tracking number after the package was delivered the day after ordering it! NewEgg > Competitors!
