Opinion: Very capable little point/shoot with excellent images. Intelligent auto is very effective and can immediately convert, say to macro, or whatever it senses. 28mm wide angle is very nice and no particular lens issues noted for this class camera.
Low light images are suprisingly clean.
Ideal for the non-tech shooter that just wants ease of image capture.
Problems: No ISO control. Expensive.
Opinion: For its cost its a very good point and shot, little photographic skill required.
Menu takes a bit of getting used to and could be easier. A scene selector wheel would have been useful and would have made the menu easier.
It might also be better if it took a mini-USB as opposed to its 8-pin.
The wide angle is good for a camera of its type.
Opinion: very weak camera, with more difficult controls than older versions.
Problems: after 5-6 months of use or around 200 shots, broke by producing distorted images in blue color.
