Excellent option, very cheap for around 340$, no problem found buying it overseas.
Very good range of iso sensitivities although a lot of noise in 800. A bit slow to turn on, but fast enough outdoors.
Not very useful in indoors action photos, because of long flash charging lap. Best using it without flash indoors. For those saying is slow taking action photos, try locking focus first, then shoot when desired, you’ll get it!.
My recommendation: use it always in manual mode, if you snapshot, then use manual programmed mode (you always see what you’re doing); in action photos is better to take sequences without flash, so you can always discard bad takes and have the good one. Anyway no digital small cam is good for this.
Excellent outdoors, and I found no better featured cam in still images with this size (anyway I did not compare pictures). Size and good construction are some of its better weapons, also good having rechargeable batteries, a lot of possibilities to explore, even more than a film camera, like high speed action photos with flash up to 1/1000 sec. and full range of manual controls (even m. focus). If you only look for a snapshot this may be not the best choice, but for the price and size there is no option. Small enough to fit in a belt phone case.
Cons: a bit slow turning on only 35 secs of movie, no raw format, weak batteries and card door.
For the rest, very easy and powerful, good option for amateur photographers, forget the big slr-like 4mp cams, most of them are less featured than this one!.
Lens does not sitck, just wait for card storage led stop blinking and then turn off.
Problems:
Poor battery door (opens!), slow charge of flash, dangerous on/off button (can easily turn on). Bad viewfinder, smaller than actual picture take.
