CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Great looking and compact; unique set of features for its class; above-average image quality, no red-eye. 7.8
out of 10View score
The bad: Slow shot-to-shot times with flash, dual-purpose control buttons impose a learning curve; weak low-light autofocus.
The bottom line: Despite a few shortcomings, this handsome little camera packs a punch, with practical snapshot features and solid picture quality.

Some tricks for low light problems...
May 10, 2006Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Good image quality &performance,awesome macro.
Cons: Low light focusing and sharpness problems(read more)
Opinion:
I've been using this camera for a year already,mainly for macro photography at which it simply excels.The color is very natural,reminds me of film,and the pictures come out a bit soft,but sharpen very nicely in photoshop.If you wanna improve the mediocre low light performance,turn continuous shooting on,use ISO 400,turn AF area mode off,macro mode off,and reduce exposure compensation as much as possible.It doesn't make miracles,but improves drastically the situation for the acceptable.
On the bright side again,battery life is excellent,and exposure very good.All in all,a point and shoot stylish machine well above the average level at almost everything.
