Love this camera

I have found this camera easy to use since I bought it, and am happy with the pics it produces. We also bought the marine case and use it scuba diving (of course usual light limitations limit the quality at depth, but I am not serious enough about underwater photography to buy a strobe).

This is the smallest digital I have had, yet the screen is still a generous size. This is a camera lightweight enough that I am finally happy carrying my camera in a tiny case on my belt rather than a case with a shoulder strap.

I decided to write this review because I went on vacation, forgot the battery charger, and was so impressed that the battery lasted a full 10 days through hundreds of pictures. (I didn't waste battery editing any pics, but I did use a little to dump the pics to the laptop, and then delete them from the camera). While I don't recommend leaving your charger at home, I can say that you shouldn't have to buy a spare battery for this camera.
