I've had this camera for about 1 and a half years now and it was well worth the money. At first the shots came out a bit blurry, but that was before I discovered that you need to hold down the button half-way to focus lock on the subject. After that, the shots have come out consistently good.

Battery life is pretty good (using 1700mAh NIMH batteries) with the LCD on -- I tend to get somewhere between 3-5 hours continuous shooting. With the LCD off, it literally can last a week or two without a recharge while using the camera everyday.

minor quibbles:
sliding cover leaves streaks on the body after a decent amount of use

a tad bulky compared with other cameras, but not horrible

LCD isn't as sharp as other cameras

no mic to record sound for the movies
