The only reason I bought this camera was to take pictures far from the object, but I needed good definition and with the camera´s 65x Optical Zoom does the job!

I can actually take pictures from the moon and see the craters enhanced, look at the following picture I took with the camera:

As you can clearly see with it´s Optical Image Stabilizer the picture looks amazing, as even using a tripod, as I did to take the moon´s picture, if the stabilization is not as godd as this camera when taking pictures from this far the picture looks fuzzy.

Most of it I use it to take pictures from people´s faces for my job but as I do not need them to know that I´m doing it, with this camera I can take them from very far, 300 feet to 700 feet away from the target, the pictures look extremelly clear and you can see the face features like if you had the person in front of you.

The body structure is incredibly strong as once my camera fell from 4 feet high into cement and nothing heppened to it, it works perfectly fine, it has a little dent that you can barely see.

Any picture you take, it could be a close up, wide shot, steady long shots looks impressive as it has the 16.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS combined with Canon´s latest DIGIC 6 Image Preocessor.

And of course it has video.
