Opinion: This camera is excelent! Ive had it for almost a month and I have to say that Im still playing with all the features. I Specailly like the WiFi, it just makes it so easy when you have a notebook and are outdoors, it sends them as soon as you take the picture. Image quality is, for a point and shoot, really good, it comes very close to what you see.
And its only 300 bux, more affordable than the Olympus and Canon equivalents.
And it comes with good software, Picture Project is easy to use and has great features.
It uses SD cards which is lower in price and compatble with my notebooks incorporated slot, a plus.
2.5 in screen very bright and fast fps.
The battery lasts a very long time, 180 shots full res with flash.

Problems: Theres not much to say here.
The startup is a bit slow, macro isnt as good as Canons but better than Olympus.
Not as thin or stylish than its equivalents.
A lot of grain under low light conditions (with no flash).

If you are looking to not spend a lot of money and want to get as close as you can toa prosumer, Nikon P2 is the way to go!

Opinion: Have had this camera for 1 week (to replace my awesome looking but horrible performing Sony DSC-T7)

Pros:
1. Aperture priority
2. Definable WB
3. WiFi
4. quick easy of use menu interface
5. not too much noise at ISO400

Cons:
1. build is cheap plastic (especially the lensecover and the wheel button). could have been the "good" plastic at least.
2. focus is a bit slow and hard to get under less than ideal light closeup
3. LCD is 110pix and not 200pix

Problems: WiFi stopped working on PC. Need to debug. I hate this.

Opinion: First digital camera. Quality is excellent, easy to use. Bit buklier than other types of
cameras which is good because buttons are bigger. Menu navigation fairly simple.
Screen good size but hard to view in sunlight. Toggle buttn at the top could be better
organised going from auto pictures to movie mode. No 30 fps for small movies is
dissapointing. interface connector cover on side (for USB connection) is small and
flimsy.

Overall very happy and reasonably priced camera.

Problems: none

Opinion: Just bought one for my friend and tried one day. The grey market is US$191 in my local store. For this price, I really think that it has the best value for money. One more delight is that I find that it has image ratio 3:2 other than the default 4:3. In Dpreview's table it only shows 4:3. For my friend who don't like to edit photo, this feature is very helpful. The operation speed and 2.5 inch screen is very impressive. I have a 3700 and 7900 already, my friend's purchase makes me envy. hehe.

Problems: - the tripod mount is not in the center.
- the card and battery door feel flimsy (remaining body part is quite rigid)
- battery is only 730mAh, you would better buy one extra battery.
