My wife bought me the 8000 for x-mas. Sweet camara but it's a pain in the ass trying to figure out how to get good indoor shots. After you figure out the settings it takes great pictures though (way better outside though). Super tough camaras though, I've dropped mine, kicked mine, submerged mine and it still looks and preforms like brand new. Very happy with this camara, it takes great under water shots too (now if I could only get the fish in the frame).
