1) The 10MP is more than enough.

2)The image quality is awesome.

3) No problem with the LCD, the twist feature is useful and protects the screen too.

4) Battery backup is excellent.

5) Ample set features (SLR like) you can play with.

6) The build quality is good, feels sturdy and has a metal finish.

7) Bought is for $300(Rs.12000) in India on Ebay, thats cheap compared to other compact cameras with the same feature set.

8) No Noticible noise till ISO 200.

9) Macro focus just rocks (1 cm).

10) Overall its very good camera, a good substitute for a SLR, can be used as a backup camera, a good bang for money, a full featured camera which can be used by everyone in every situation.

Problems:

1) Zoom is jumpy.

2) No optical zoom in the video mode (major Set back),

3) Flimsy USB cover.

4) A bit heavy for a compact camera(not a pocket one)

5) Video consumes lot if memory (1 min= 100 MB approx)

6) Optical Zoom not sufficient -4x.

7) comes with 32 MB card which is a joke.

8) No live histogram.

9) No zoom indicator on LCD screen.

10) No battery power meter.
