This camera has a huge 12x optical zoom and is loaded with automatic, semi automatic and manual exposure modes, it has a big 2.5" screen and captures VGA/30fps movies in MPEG format. It was easy to learn on and led to many great times out taking pictures. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfP2KSsTCgu0mXoMkgf5qog2aUQRja5Sgbh2bpBDwznlk9L_AOd6ZyLCfOJhWByEjBdumTb-_wm3HCw0jc-3k_JIqTnkKljhMnsRH3KGnhtvtN8TPu50ptQWE5J4r1GeMiFqXuqxE1F7g/s1600/DSC01730+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfP2KSsTCgu0mXoMkgf5qog2aUQRja5Sgbh2bpBDwznlk9L_AOd6ZyLCfOJhWByEjBdumTb-_wm3HCw0jc-3k_JIqTnkKljhMnsRH3KGnhtvtN8TPu50ptQWE5J4r1GeMiFqXuqxE1F7g/s320/DSC01730+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542164891857332754" /></a>This was the first time I actually shot the moon!
