I've used this camera for portrait photography for a leading singles organization in the Chicago area. The camera's CCD has a bias towards the color red. For instance if someone is wearing read, then the whole picture becomes red, unless I dominate the photograph with a light blue background. Even at the highest JPEG setting the pictures still have grain, enough so that you cannot enlarge a picture to an 8x10 size without losing the overall quality of the picture. The viewfinder has paralax error, when you put the camera in the virtical (for portraits) it has an off centered target.
The one good thing is the menus are easy to navigate, and has manual settings, very important for portraiture.

Problems:

1) Grainny images
2) Red Bias causing ruddy complections
3) Paralax error
4) Slow buffer
5) small design really made for small hands (I'm sorry I have big hands)
