A great all round package for the more serious photographer

Mar 14, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Great versatility, good feel with well positioned controls, long battery life.
Cons: Auto focus rather slow. Noise on ISO 1600 setting.
Opinion:
Hold this camera and it immediately feels right fitting all but the biggest hand perfectly. It looks good too, just like a compact SLR. The zoom buttons are perfectly placed for the thumb and the shutter button for the forefinger.
Switch between Auto and Anti Shake for an easy life, but explore the manual settings to get the best results for varying conditions. RAW mode gives superior results, but there is no continuous shoot on RAW as writing to the card is quite slow. For tripod shots though, it gives the best. Having said that, most users will probably stick to 5.1 megpix jpgs and will not be disappointed. Set to High Speed Shooting, there is minimal shutter delay and a burst of three shots takes 1.5 seconds. Great for sport and action shots where you chose the best shot!

Exceptional quality and easy to use

Dec 12, 2005

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 10x optical zoom, great versatility, easy menu and access to functions.
Cons: Nil
Opinion:
My first digital camera after quite some time of research and looking at various other brands and models. Most impressed by its wide range of functions when using manual and semi-auto. In auto, an excellent end result is produced. Lightweight but still feels like a 'real' SLR camera. Great image when using either the screen or LCD viewfinder. Would like to have seen a screw-on glare shield as an optional extra to help further protect the lens front and prevent side glare.
