I have one, brought it a year ago for a trip away. Battery life is excellent as are most of the features. We've used the panaramic function with Canon Stitch on the PC and it comes out excellent. Using a tripod would get awesome results. As said zoom is awesome and the resolution is fantastic for my needs.

Just get a heap of memory and you're away
