1) 8.3 megapixels

2) Super CCD HR

3) 7.6x Digital zoom

4) 1/2000 sec Max shutter speed

5) 8mm-24mm focal length

As for image quality, you would not be disappointed. It does equal to fine and accurate colors. It then defines this product as a fine but not a spectacular piece of point and shoot camera.
