I bought this for my son for Christmas to take on a trip to South America. I had done my research and knew it was a great camera.
My Review is about my buying experience not the camera.
I went online, found the best price at one of the NY camera houses only to to told a few days later that the camera & instruction book were the Japanese version. For another $30 I could get the English version. Needless to say I cancelled.
I placed the order a second time with another camera house only to be told the camera was not available. They tried to upsell me - once again I cancelled.
I had just about given up on the camera when I went to search one more time.
This time I found the camera here on Amazon. With the free postage the cost was only about $10 more than the least expensive I had found to date.
I placed the order and had the camera in 8 days.
My son trekked around Patagonia and took wonderful shots both at close range and distance using the 20x zoom. If it is not the best camera in its class out there I don't know what is.
The MORAL here is save yourself the aggravation of dealing with the NY camera houses which are known for somewhat questionable tactics. Just order it from an Authorized Amazon seller!!!
