Strong points but overall disappointed

I got one of the first ones available, and it was defective: the battery was empty after two days, even withouy using the camera.
I did take 100-200 photos with it, and I was disappointed; results were too soft and too noisy, especially above 200 ISO.
i found out also that important functions are burried in sub-menus, like the ISO selection, the Macro and the exposure functions, the flash modes.
I was very disappointed, the look and finish are excellent, this camera is thin enough for a pocket, and the zoom range is wonderful. but it was not made by photographers, nor for photographers.
