If I take my time while taking pictures and use the manual settings, the quality is better than my old Kodak easyshare but the easyshare was better for faster point n shoot pictures.

The 12x zoom is good to have but If I had spent just a couple hundred more I could have gotten a much better camera.

Remember snakes move alot. Whatever you choose, do some research on the high speed capabilities of the camera and look for one with a good macro mode.
I have this camera and I find it very hard to get the shot I want but I am certainly NO PRO. Someday I want a rebel and photography classes
