I *LOVE* this camera. My level of personal photographic skill is at the point-zoom-click level BUT I do have over 15 years experience working in image processing, so we're not talking complete Noddy here.
I still have about half the manual to get through but, so far, the process has been jaw-dropping.
About 1/3 of my photos are below average. This is definitely my fault. But the ones that I'm not stuffing up are simply (simply??) outstanding!!
This camera is definitely making me look good.
If you want to point and click, choose something that fits in your purse. If you want to spend money, look elsewhere. If you want to take outstanding photographs without busting the bank, BUY THIS CAMERA.
Problems:
Occasionally I'm not getting a flash off and it seems to 'stick" in another mode. (most likely I've thumbed some button unintentionally).
USB2 (to SanDisk CF 256MB) seems slower than I'd expect. I'm guessing about 4MB/sec here. Certainly not a show-stopper.
