Review 1 of 3

Price Paid: $1200.00 from Hobart retailer

Summary:

My first digital camera, but I wanted good clarity and features eg. zoom, macro, remote. I also wanted it to be competitive for a few years.

Strengths:

x3 optical zoom; flexible range of features; close macro (1cm), remote control good for low light slow shutter shots; large storage (72mb); can take movies and or sound alone. Works well with my PC with a USB link

Weaknesses:

battery life could be a problem. Battery access door is delicate. Best to buy an AC power supply for downloading to PC. Scratchy sound replay on the camera but is OK once on the computer.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid: $700.00 from Canary islands

Summary:

I bought this camera on a whim whilst on holiday for my wife,as she is a professional photographer and was considering going digital,hopefully to get her used to digital before spending a small fortune on on nikon D1X or something similar,only to find she prefers 35mm,anyhow i have been using it since day one and it it excellent,super crisp imagery,excellent zoomand a first rate macro facility that is second to none in this price bracket.my wife is still shooting 35mm!

Strengths:

Compact,large viewing screen,excellent quaility,range of excellent features and excellent value for money

Weaknesses:

the onle weakness i can find is the battery life,but if you don't shoot throught he screen and use the view finder they last a lot longer
