Amazing but fatally flawed
(David - 9/28/09)From day one this camera impressed me, the images caputured were fantastically detailed, the macro mode really powerful and focusing at 1cm, pictures of sand at 10 megapixels were like small pebbles.
Then the video capture was awesome too, i already own a Pro Sony VX2100e and side by side the image quality of the footage is very similar obviously as this is a photo camera and not a dedicated film camera there are some major omissions but it performs very well.
The images as i say are positively fantastic its like every press of the shutter is an epic moment.
BUT>>>>
I noticed early on that there was dust on the inside of the lens, therefore impossible to clean. then finally....exactly 2 years and 1 week later the camera fails to start/powerup and looking aroung on the internet this seems to be a VERY COMMON fault and it seems to occur at the 2 year mark, leading me to think that rumours of a "death" chip in the camera are true altho proving this would be nigh on impossible, it is a crying shame tho, as this
WAS an awesome camera.
