I have been waiting for this camera to use as my boat and beach camera.
It is a great alternative to messing with housings for underwater or beach use, but I
don't think it is good enough to replace my regular compact cameras. (I have the
Panasonic LX2 and the Casio EXZ1000)
It is annoyingly slow to focus with considerable shutter lag. I am irritated watching
the little red light blinking after every shot while it is writing to the XD card.
But I just jumped into the pool to take a few shots of my baby daughter underwater
and that was worth every penny.
Problems:
Just a very slow camera by todays standards
