Fantastic camera at a ridiculously low price.
I've had it for a few months now, I resisted posting a review until now so I could get a decent feel for it. It has everything you could want in a camera of this size and price and a lot of extras. It has everything a beginner could need whilst still catering for more advanced users. I use it for when I need something small and portable and as a backup to my Canon 30D and it performs very well. The pano mode is much better than I thought possible without a tripod, it accurately gets handheld shots lined up which I find amazing, especially in a camera of this price. Its not infallible, you have to line it up as best you can but it does a good job.
In short, brilliant camera, fantastic price, only a few minor drawbacks.
Problems:
No optical viewfinder - personal preference I guess.. I liked it on my old DX4330 and I guess the battery life suffers. However, the screen is very good.
Manual controls can be a pain to alter quickly, but its never gonna rival a DSLR in that respect and the fact that it has manual controls is a massive bonus.
