Here's the review I wrote on the PC Mag website:

QuoteI got the Dimage 7HI as a step-up from a 3+mp HP with my end goal as eventually getting a true SLR digital. It has served me well and I am continuing to explore the features and posibilities of this camera. My main projects are flowers, scenary, animals, with a bit of on-line marketting thrown in. The pros of the camera (and the list is still expanding) are the choice of manual or auto control - focus, F-stop, aperature, color. Everything can be "tweaked" if wanted - or let the camera go fully auto and the results are great. This is probably the best feature. I can just point and shoot, or I can work one scene or area for multiple shots to get the best results by using the many variations available. After a year I'm still learning all the possibilities. The cons of the camera that might make a difference to some - shutter speed on auto is not fast enough for "stop-action" of animals and such, there are some distance shots that I have not been able to get clear focus on (that might change with a telescopic adapter), and focus point isn't always where I want it so I need to switch to manual. This last 'con' would probably not be a big thing to most photographers as I often shoot 'busy' photos with backgrounds that are likely to confuse most digital cameras. Another easy-to-fix minor con is battery life. Prior to getting an external power source I needed to pack several changes of rechargable batteries. The external battery pack is a recommended add-on. I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon, I'm still learning from this camera.

Here's a new favorite taken two weeks ago at the Mission San Juan Capistrano:

That's a great review, Liz!  So happy that it was put in.

I edited to make the quote text a bit larger.  I'm going to see if I can get that changed next update as I find it so difficult to read.

I love that photo!

Thanks for sharing this with us.
