Bought this just the other day.

Massive improvement over my previous point and shoot, but haven't had a chance to get many shots taken.

In my limited experience, but after lots of research, I reckon its the best spec'd camera for the money

Looking at that they've took a bit of a step back with some things. 2 things I noticed were, the shutter speeds, it says 4 seconds as the longest, my S5600 is upto 15 seconds. Also it sounds like it doesn't support RAW files, I'm not sure how much that will effect you, it just gives you more editing capabilities.

4 second shutter speed maybe a little short night shots depending on how many lights are about. That pic I mentioned before was a 15 second shutter speed, although there was only natural light, and it was fairly dark
