I bought this camera for a long cruise. The two features I wanted in addition to taking pictures, were the GPS and movies. There is good news and bad news.The good news:
1. The movies are very good, given the problems holding a little camera still while taking a movie. Picture quality is excellent.
2. The GPS works, but not usually indoors and some times takes a few minutes to sync. This may be a function of my position and the position of the GPS satellites. Even after it shows sync, it often does not have the altitude for a few more minutes.
3. Picture quality is very good.
The bad news:
1. If you want the GPS to work with the pictures you are taking, you need to leave the camera on. Unfortunately, when you leave the camera on, one would think there would be a way to have the camera not keep running the rear display. I've set it for 10 seconds and indeed, it goes off, but it keeps coming back on and I don't push any of the buttons, but do have it hanging by the hand strap. This means the battery life is terrible. I had 5 batteries and often would be on the 4th one by the end of the day.
2. It says it will take a 60 minute movie, but not with any known battery and I have not found a power cord for the camera.
