i got this one a couple of weeks back and its been doing well as promised. As expected from this model, its not something you can carry in your pocket but the excellent image quality and features more than make up for it. all in all a great gadget for people who have enough interest in photography but dont want to fiddle with DSLRs yet :) 3 of 4 found the following review helpful: A Great Little Camera , with alot of Features ! Mar 02, 2008 I Saw this Camera walking the Streets of NYC at a Camera Shop and Fell in Love with it ! I have Been a Film Guy for Years and Just Purchased a Digital Camera a Year and A half ago , so this digital Stuff is All New to Me . I have Made My living with a Camera and My Cameras were always Canon . I used Canon A-1s up till a Year Ago, Could No longer Buy the Film I use ,So I Bought a Canon D-20 , its a Great Camera, I Do things with Digital I Couldnt Get Away with on Film ,But its a Big Camera and sometimes , I dont Feel Like Loading all the Gear . Camera Bag , Lens and so Forth , thats were this Camera Comes in ! The Reason I Bought this was so I can Always Have a Camera on Me at All Times , The Best Shots Always Happen When You Dont Have A Camera on You! Happens Everytime !Now I Have seen some People Saying this or that , You have to look at the Facts , 1st it is What it is , Meaning its in between A Point and Shoot And A SLR Camera , there is a Trade off for Everything , Here You Get Alot of Camera in A small package .Some Examples of this , It has a Manual Mode , I use this Just Like A 35mm Film Camera , I love that and You can Set the ISO like on a Film Camera , Now also the Lens is Equal to Lens from 36mm to 432mm ! This gives You A Wide Angle Lens 36mm ,a Standard Lens 50mm , A Portrait Lens 100mm , A Telephoto Lens 200mm And a 300mm and 400mm Telephoto Lens , All On one Camera ! Think if You had to Carry all That ! I usually Do ! Now with a 4GB SDHC Card You Get About 768 Pictures ! Thats 21 Rolls of 36 exp Film !Have You Carryed 21 Rolls of Film or Tryed Loading a Roll of Film in Cold Weather ? I Have , its not Fun to Be in the Middle of a Shoot and You Run Out of Film ! Also The savings alone of Not Buying Film anymore Will Pay For The Camera . The One Draw Back to This Camera is You Cant Store The Pictures To Raw Data , But Again the Trade off is The Size of The Camera . if Your Doing Blow-ups to 8x10 the Quality of The Pictures are Great , Meaning its Better to Have A Smaller Picture then No Picture at All ! The other Draw Back is The Manual Focus , But Again Thats one of The Trade-offs . Now this also is a Video Camera and with 4GBs they claim 1 Hour of Video with Stereo Sound ! Try that with Your 35mm Film Camera !There is Alot to this Camera and for Me , it will take awhile to Learn each one , But thats Part of The Fun of it !No Camera will take Great Pictures , The Camera is Just a Tool , its The Person Behind the Camera That Creates Great Pictures , This is a Fun Camera and if Your Having Fun , You will Take Great Pictures ! Cheers 2 of 2 found the following review helpful: This camera can be used as a video camera with the zoom and focus all functional. Though most camera can take video, the zoom is not function that makes them not very useful. Very few camera can fully functional as both camera and camcorder. This is the perfect camera to do both. I do not need to buy a camcorder any more. Can be use both as camera and camcorder Mar 01, 2008
