Easy to miss a shot because of accidental "mode" change.

Pros:

Good metal construction, removable front protection glass, good battery live.

Cons:

Wheel for mode selection is under thumb. It is too easy to move selector to another option and to miss a shot or even to press accidentally "record" button". It was probably designed for someone with really small thumbs (ladies, kids, etc. ).

In most cases it is moved to "macro" mode - that is close to the iAuto. I missed several "quick" shots because of that.

I am going to return it back.
