Worth All 5 Stars - Buy It!

My wife who owns a canine rescue here in Nebraska (www.bwbr.org) needed a camera that was easy to use and took great pictures. After reading the reviews here on Epinions, we purchased this one. We have NEVER regretted that decision!
What is most impressive is not it's incredible pictures it takes nor are the movies, great zoom, or easy to use and set controls. Both my wife and I are pretty much camera illiterate but this one is very easy to use. I could go on and on about this camera. What IS most impressive to (us) is the battery life. Just to give you an idea of how good it is, here is just how good it is:

I purchased a 2 gig memory card for this camera. My wife traveled to Illinois for a 10 day stay taking pictures and movies of various dogs and people there. When she returned she had taken 1.5 gigs of pictures and movies on 1 SET OF DOLLAR GENERAL AA BATTERIES. Not the rechargable kind...just 4 regular AA batteries. Many shots were indoor using flash...lots of movies and tons of pictures. I have used (borrowed) other digital cameras like Kodak and a few others and all ate batteries like there was no tomorrow...constantly recharging and recharging. This one is amazing. I still to this day can hardly believe it.

BUY IT...YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
