I just bought one of these a few months back. I am quite happy with it. Some of its highlights: - can take a picture quite quickly from power on to shooting the pic. - compact and robust body ... although I see that they are coming out with a cheaper model lately with a flimsier feeling plastic body. - good colour ... by my eyes anyways. - good battery life - motion stabilization Some lowlights: - custom USB cable - custom battery - the JPEG encoding used for the pictures is quite grainy when digitally zoomed in. /Mike
