This little camera has a lot going for it, including very nice image quality. And it is lightweight and comfortable and easy to use.
Problems:
The problem, which I had the misfortune to experience myself, is the cheap, plasticky construction. This camera is fragile. Thus far, I have had to replace the battery door (because a thin plastic flange broke off inexplicably), and I cannot use the USB connection (have to use a card reader) because it got floppy and stopped working; would have cost $150 to replace. The 4300 is a nice camera wrapped up in a shoddy housing. Too bad.
