Untitled ReviewAfter two years I am more comfortable with this camera. Outdoors it is great I have no complaints and am very satisfied with the results. Aconcagua is one result this is anotherAconcagua West Face is another.
Indoors for family gatherings it has proved troublesome. But I am getting the hang of it. I spent the main part of a Miami to Santiago flight reading up booklet that comes with the camera and can use it outdoors comfortably.
