- great for the price
i have a Canon A80 and have used it for the past 5 years with no problems, so when i saw this at a good price, i snagged one for my wife - this was still offered by Amazon, not another merchant.
yes, the lack of a viewfinder makes for awkward shooting, if you hurry.
otherwise, it has few modes to choose from, making it idiot-proof for a point&shooter.having videoshooting capabilities is nice.
so, now we wait to see its longevity...
