Great Camera for the "everyday" picture taker

Small size, big features. I am not a Professional by any means when it comes to photography, but I do like to take pictures of family, Auctions, etc. This is my second digital camera. My first was a Canon A95. It took decent pictures but the battery life was awful. I went through 8 AA batteries in 20 pictures, it was hard to figure out the features without reading through the HUGE manual. I found only one review in this camera and though I would give it a shot. I am so glad I did. This camera takes awesome pictures and has all the features I want. It is small, it takes AA batteries, it has a much better zoom (6x) and the batteries last. I took about 100 pictures and 3 videos and always have it on and showing people pictures and am still on the original 2 batteries. If you are just a bring the camera to the party and games or just general photos, this is the camera for you. I still have not figured out everything, but I haven't even starting reading the manual. That is what is so great about this camera, you can figure out most of the options by following the onscreen displays.
