I bought this camera from Singapore in Dec' 07 and have sold it today after having used it only for 5 months. I have no complaints with the camera as such coz it offers all the features a good camera would offer and is very comapct and easy to carry.You can play around with the settings as to your whims and fancies. However, one of my biggest complaints and the actual reason for disposing off this camera so soon was the battery life of this camera. This camera is a battery guzzler. I had bought a set of rechargables (2500) and they lasted me all in all for about 20 - 25 photo shots before the battery indicator starts flashing. The regular AA batteries would die down maybe after 5 - 10 shots and I am not exaggerating. I also have a Nikon Coolpix 950 and I have used my rechargables on that cam and they last me almost 3 days with heavy usage. I have sold the cam today at a loss of 150 USD, but I think i have made the right decision in the end, or else I may have just landed up paying more for the batteries than the camera itself.
Problems:
Battery Life - Camera is a battery guzzler. Extremely poor battery life. All the positives that the camera has our negated with the performance of the battery.
