I can't tell people enough how wonderful this camera is. It has a huge viewing screen, simple controls, and produces high quality images. People are amazed with the photos I take with it. The Stabilizer it worth it's weight in gold. When taking low light shots, it really shines. No blurry photos with this camera. The night time setting with the moon on it is amazing for taking photos of the moon, or city lights. Make sure you read the manual or you will overlook tons of features. 

Question: How is it the control?
Answer: produces high quality images
