Yes ikthius. I reckon the S6500fd is a good camera. (I have the S9500 which is it's bigger brother.) The S6500 has an excellent sensor which will give your pictures great great colours and little noise when you boost the ISO ('film' speed). Both cameras have a good lens with a manual zoom ring - much better than any motorised one - and a 28mm wide end. If you are comfortable with its size, then I'd say that that is an excellent camera for your needs.
