Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $370.00 from Malaysia

Summary:

Overall a good all rounder camera with a 28mm to start with & 200 mm at the other end. Start up is fast and you are ready to shoot. Close up is also great for such a compact camera. My friend are all amazed with the Skew control mode. Continuous-S mode is one unique mode highly recommended for sports.

Strengths:

Quick startup
7.1 X optical zoom lens.
Good close up capability
2 Customised setting allows you to quickly change to your favourite settings.
Lithium battery can hit up to 400 shots. Interesting to know that it is interchangable with certain Panasonic models.

Weaknesses:

Poor placing of zoom lever
Flash too close to the side. One easily covers the flash.
Difficult to see LCD screen when surrounding is very bright.
