This camera is brill!
This camera was recommended to me by my brother in law. It has great settings for different scenarios: beach, underwater, snow, museum, text, portrait, natural light, natural light and flash etc. It also has auto setting and you can even set your own aperture. We also havr the underwater housing for this camera, and have some fantastic underwater pictures and video. Unfortunately we lost our camera (and all of our pictures) on the way home from our honeymoon, so we were desperate to get a replacement, and nowhere seemed to stock the camera as the newer models were out. We managed to track down one of the last new ones, but many camera shops told us this camera was stopped because it was worth more than it was being sold for.
So if you get the chance to purchase one of these cameras, I wouldnt hesitate to snap it up. I have been told that its predecessors are not as good, but I havent used them to compare.
We are just worried now about breaking our current one as we have the underwater housing for it!

Summary: Great features and great price if you can get your hands on one
