Yes, but it can sometimes be difficult to get steady shots with it. If you're doing long study shoots for school, get a tripod. But it is a nice, easy to use camera. Also your pictures will only blow up to the certain size, which is fairly large, but just make sure it's large enough. ;)

Let me say right now- I AM NOT a super photographer -I just put it on auto and shoot - This camera has TWICE the resolution of my old coolpix - I like it ok; I am happy with it..if you are a photography "nut" you might find fault with it somehow..I recommend see if you can find MORE reviews to get more info

Hi. I think that if you are looking for a point and shot like that, it is better to buy a DSLR entry level and consider buying a lens zoom, at the same time or when you can. You will appreciate my advice.

My suggestion as a photographer is to skip out on the cheaper camera and spending more on a intuitive camera if you can. I use this camera for snap shots. I cannot really depend on it for quickness.

I would recommend a sony camera. Have had four of them and they are great. I take more than 10,000 photos a year and am sorry I bought a canon. Thought quality would be universal in all cameras. I was wrong.

I'd recommend it as a backup camera yes. It is a good starter camera for someone new to the dslr format. It has served me well over the 2 years I've had mine.

I think it's great. It's made me a much better amateur photographer. As far as how current it is, this is the first DSLR I've had any experience with. I have no reference point from which to judge if it's outdate or not.

This is a solid camera, but it really does depend on your cost/size/use constraints. You may be better off getting an entry level SLR, but I use this camera for hiking and it is easy to have on hand because of it's weight/size, so I carry it nearly everywhere. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you... If you aren't carrying one, it won't do you any good.

My opinion is this would be a excellent camera for a starter. It has all the features of a proffesional camera at a low price.

"There are other cameras in this class that are faster and have far better sensors with far better ISO capability."Really, unless you name names, this comment is not very helpful. Could you please give examples?

Yes it will probably work nicely for you but remember the resolution isn't quite as high as a digital camera. Digital cameras have much higher resolution however their field of view is probably in adequate for what you needed to do. This unit is very good at taking good resolution pictures of small things. And it's not very expensive.

dpreview.com does very extensive testing, you should check them out. I think a lot of the choice depends on what you want to do over your photography life as once you get a camera you start buying expensive lenses and become entrenched (Canon or Nikon). In my own experience, I've found Canon's formats to be a little more use friendly to non-professional photographers. But people who have been photographers for years, tend to gravitate to the Nikon standard as it has some better personal customization on the higher end.

Honestly it depends on what youre going for, i used black and white kodak and i think the iso was 400x thats what most of us used in class. But it all depends on what youre going for.

It depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent camera, I would recommend the entry level memory until you know what you need after using the device for a while.

This camera is not the best one for what you need. That is my personal opinion of course.

That depends on how much one wants to learn about photography. The camera has many settings and features that enable a lot of control over the photographic process, so it would be an excellent tool for those wanting to learn. On the other hand, if one is only interested in the result, rather than the process too, then there are simpler cameras that would take great photos without the complications.
