good shutter speed range fine lens, sharp, contrasty little flare powerful and useful flash comprehensive feature set

top deck lcd has no illumination a little portly squinty viewfinder

Have used mine for 2 years with excellent results. Over 50 rolls run through it in numerous visits to Disney. Banged it around a fair bit and does not seem worst for the wear. My preferred 28-xxx p&s for daily use

It''s been 8 months'' time since my purchase. Having taken over a dozen rolls of film, the updated Riva 75W proves itself an excellent & reliable performer(as my old Riva 70W). The print results generally look well exposed and saturated with nice colours. The pictures taken at night time & low light condition are better than most other p&s of the class. Some pictures I took for reference: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=121956

It's a compact camera. I liked the night portrait feature, the macro mode, and the two-function remote control.

1. Lens was not too sharp.
2. Unless the subject was very near the center of the frame, the auto focus function might miss the subject and focus on the background.
3. The tripod socket was off to the edge of the camera, so it tended to tip my mini-tripod.
4. The view finder is quite small and can be a bit hard to locate when taking vertical pictures.

I returned it and got another camera.

This is a camera I can pick it up and shoot with confidence at those spur of the moment opportunities. Not so intimidating as slr's for people shooting.
