This is a great camera, which I have had since early 2009. It shoots fantastic photographs just like it did the day I bought it, lens and camera machinery are scratch-free and in perfect working order. But iIdoes have wear-and-tear from its years of use: missing the rubber viewfinder cover (see photo), sometimes after you turn the camera from on to off, you must remove and replace the battery before you start taking photographs -- a small quirk of the camera that does not effect the quality of photographs, or how they can be taken.
