Opinion: Purchased as an upgrade to another FE series camera. The 2.5 LCD, 28mm 5x zoom lens, macro/super macro features all appealed to me.
Pros: Excellent build. Small without being too small to allow operation (though the controls I wish were a touch bigger). Able to spend a day outing with it (200 shots or more) without recharging battery. Images are about what you can expect from a point and shoot. LCD size is appreciated (previous cams had 1.8" ones). Attractive. Metal body.
Problems: Quite slow to power up/down. Camera/preview buttons, function selector dial, etc. a bit small but positive feel and operation. Limited ability for creative control, which sadly some cams with significantly lower price tags offer. With faster operation, more user control available this would be an outstanding camera.
Opinion: (for a friend) i have checked this camera and find it easy to use along point and shoot lines. large lcd display helps get a good picture.
Problems: reason why i am checking it is that outside pics are good, inside flash seems overexposed and too bright loosing details as well as intermittent rings or circles appearing on picture. Checking the card they are there too and show much worse on printed pictures.
anyone else had this problem as a camera fault! To me looks like the flash is somehow getting into the lens and causing this. Owners pictures at night were about 90% failure because of this.

Opinion: Pros:
Build decent enough for this class
28mm wide angle and 5x zoom
LCD 2.5" 150k, reasonable
Easy to use
Controls are ok for a compact
Metering pretty decent
Problems: Cons:
Very limited control of camera, ISO/WB etc
Anti red eye is not effective at all
Optics not too bad distortion wise, but soft in corners
Image quality, average to a bit below (lacks details)
Low res video capture
AF sometimes confirms focus, even if its not!
Shutter lag not too bad, but below many
Nasty CA on many images
Overall not too bad, but not that great. It will probably satisfy 6x4" shooters, but most would be better giving the soft edge 28mm a miss, and looking at other alternatives.
