i picked one these up a few months back well aware of the potential problems of outdoor daylight shots. indoor the camera takes nice well balanced photo that i´m more than happy with. the speed of the camera is great, and i could not want for more, until i step outside.
Problems:
outside in daylight this camera does not take great photos. you never know where the exposure is going to lie. i have tried with 0 exp. comp, -3, -7 and the results are all over the place. i have tested the camera and it´s not deffective. it´s just lousy metering that changes it´s behavior way too much depending on where the light comes from.
also the dynamic range of these photos outdoors is lousy! and very often i get over satured photos that give a cheap digicam look when printed.
Outdoors my 5 y.o. canon s200 2mp is light years ahead of this indoor only camera.
if you only shoot indoors, go ahead and buy the camera, you will be more than happy.
if you shoot outdoors, ever, buy anything else.
