    Appears to have some fairly good reviews though some say:

    "Viewfinder is poor in sunlight."

    "No viewfinder"

    "On the surface simple to use but has many options which can be confusing when moving away from standard snaps."

    "There is a lot to take in with the different settings"

    See for yourself and make your own mind up.

    Just had a look on Cnet and found this which might be helpful. Cnet appears to be quite reliable.

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 for around the same price appears to be a better camera though. This has an 18x optical zoom though but might be worth considering.

    Hope this is of some help to you.
