Well constructed, attractive camera with 7.5/10 photo quality, but also a camera with some flaws. For this kind of money it had better work well!

Problems:

Purple fringing can be quite substantial in some situations, but, the major problem i have had is with the audio in the movie mode! There is a high pitch whining, static (almost like a kettle boiling) sound that is recorded. On playback this sound is very anoying, and it actually detracts from the quality of the sound recorded and its intensity. I have had this problem with two units. The AiAf auto focus is also a little crazy... It usually never re-focuses at the same point, even with no camera or zoom movement.
