I primarily chose this because it had Dog and Cat Scene modes, see my pix. It's pretty cool as it detects your pets face and automatically shoots, no shutter pressing. I like its also easy to navigate around the cams contorls, zoom is smooth tho haven't use it at the longest end as you'll need very steady hands, and it locks onto its subject quite well. Read another review complaining about the macro mode, w/c even tho I haven't used this cam extensively for that, does suffer from poor focusing or blurry shots. He also mentions the Flash, which you'll have to pop up yourself. I never had problems setting my Flash to Auto and it not firing, so i have no complaints here. If you've seen my pix, indoor shots are pretty good as long as lighting is bright enough, low light isn't bad either, but not the best, while Outdoor shots are sharp and excellent.
All in all not a bad cam, takes good pix, focuses well, not the speediest, but not slow either. Pix are surprisingly sharp and clear, zoom works. Size-wise it's compact, just a tad bulky due to its 26X zoom lens, but design wise love it's very good grip.
Also, I've seen Amazon say that the SP-820uz is a newer model, it's not, it's their highest end model with higher zoom and more features. It's also a bit bigger.
Just wanted to add, as per someone asking if the zoom works in video mode, it does. It's a bit slow, it'll blur slightly while zooming but focuses well in the end and you'll hear the zoom motor working, not loudly, so your audio will be slightly muted while in use. If your not using the zoom or stopped, audio is fine and unaffected.
