What can I say, this camera certaintly lives up to its name. I bought mine in America in July and took it to the West Coast, places like Calafornia, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas etc... Picture Quality, Ease of use, durability, comfort, weight, you name it... couldn't fault it. I have some sensational pictures from my road trip across the states, well worth framing. If you buy this camera and intend using it for all sorts, from sport to shooting lightning, I suggest getting the 18-200mm lens that basically does it all. Again, amazing, well worth the investment.
