Disappointed in quality of pictures - for example - a bright sunny day shots look like overcast shots using the Z33. We were initially exited to purchase this extremely cute camera that is waterproof, sand proof, mudproof. We took many pictures with this 10MP Z33 and also with our old 7.2MP Sony W120 and our much older Sony W1 - compared them all side to side. About 50 pictures using various conditions - low light, with action, macro, outdoors etc. The Z33 made a bright and sunny outdoor seem like undercast weather, it added noise to indoor shots, it added more green / yellow to the pictures - rose carpets and walls were now greenish in colour, healthy faces looked ill. In addition, the Z33 didn't capture extreme contrasts nor details. The Fuji just made everything more subdued - some pictures looked like it came from a webcam. We used different settings and still, picture quality in every setting was a huge disappointment. So sad, since it was such a cute camera with underwater features.
