Love the camera! I use it for family outings and capturing the kids as they're off running; sailing; on rides. The color is great! I recommend this over my Olympus (which I had won). It takes quicker pics than the Olympus. If you're taking pictures within a close enough range of 30' you don't need any other camera. I like the options/settings on this more than my first digital -- Kodak (and I really love/loved my Kodak).
