from camera store Summary:
Don''t kid yourself about this one. Yes, it is beautiful to look at in a mysterious sort of way. But it''s just a good, not a "great" picture taker, and its classy design sometimes (too often for me) negates its functionality. The instruction booklet - over 100 pages of it - is a depressing necessity when adjusting the simplest functions. You''ll find yourself having to refer to it over and over. The button switches were designed for people with exceptionally long fingernails or pencil-thin fingers.
The lens is sharp and the AF is usually right-on, but this is also true of the much less-expensive Olympus Stylus. The battery drain on this camera is just absurd, or criminal, depending on your point of view. So yes, it looks great. Get one, hold it in your hands, and marvel at its amazing design. If you''re a gadget person, you''ll probably get one anyway - just to play with the dials. Strengths:
Good lens, great-looking design, sturdy feel. Weaknesses:
Expensive, eats batteries, design hampers use. Similar Products Used:
Wide variety of point and shoots. Customer Service:
Not needed.
