from Fry's Electronics Summary: When I was shopping for a replacement to my old Canon s40 I was looking for something with a bit more than the regular 3x optical zoom. Since my shooting often happens of the fly an Image Stabilizer of some sort would have been nice in some of those 10x zooms out there, so I found this baby with a 5x optical zoom. I've been very happy with it as it takes good crisp photos, and has been blur free on most telephoto shots. All in all I've been quite happy with the camera, though I will soon be looking for one that offers more manual controls than this has to offer. Strengths: -A longer than average 5x optical zoom
-Ease of use. One of the best menu systems I've seen.
-Good feel in the hand (subjective, of course)
-AA batteries
-Useful dock extension (sold seperately) that makes for a painless recharge and transfer of pictures.
-16mb on board "emergency" space Weaknesses: -Offers minimal manual controls
-pictures don't come out as crisp as I would have wanted
-Will leave you wanting more if you are more than just a point and click shooter. Similar Products Used: Canon S40
