I've serched for a camera on the internet for 2 months, and finally decided to buy this one. Now I can say that it's not a bad choice. The image qualty is great(even in auto mode, but in low light conditions you have to be a pro to get the desired quality. Very good battery life, but a battery level indicator is missing and the camera shuts down when you don't expect it to(all it says is"Change battery pack". FUUCK!!! (a must have is an extra pack).
Otherwise my final oppinion is that the camera is great for the money and I doubt you can find better camera for this ammount of money(~350$).It has full manual controls and shutter speed -15 sec. The competitors at this level offer max 8 sec. so with this one you can make great night shots. You can think of Pentax Optio 330 GS or RS or Nikon CoolPix 3100 also, but I recommend you this one. That's all folks!!!
Problems:
Lens cover chooses when to close correctly or not. Also the zoom lever seems quite crippled. I don't know how long it will be working. No battery indicator available.
