Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, easy grip
If you are a beginner, set it to "auto" & go. If you like to play with fancy settings, you can do that too. This replaced an older model A560 which I also liked. I especially like the grip. I don't like the card -deck thin ones - nothing to hold on to. This is why originally bought this model. I would recommend it to anyone-beginner or semi-pro.
