Do you care for manual controls? Yes

General Usage

* What will you generally use the camera for?
Mostly out door taking photos of trips, nature. Sometimes filming. Taking micro shots and photos of moving things.

Mostly photos will be on PC, but sometimes I'll do small prints.

Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?
Not many, but I like taking photos at night.

Yes.

Thanks for help in advance.
