I have had mine for 2 years now. It has been to Africa and Asia and the Caribbean. It is the best camera I have ever owned. It does a great job taking stills. The movie capability is rough but just ok for a still camera. It takes good night shots, after adjusting the exposure. Daytime photos are perfect.
