High potential but falls well short. Thought this would be the ideal mini camera for
me because of it's manual features, great interface, superb LCD, and long battery
life. But the bottom line is picture quality (or lack thereof). The photos look very
"digital" and are way overprocessed. Even with contrast and exp comp turned
down ALL highlights are clipped and then some. Oh one more thing, the video is a
joke. I'm not picky when it comes to video but that was painful to watch.
Exchanged it for a SD600 instead. While the results are still a bit overprocessed, I
get a smooth usable image and decent video when I'm too lazy to bring the DV.
