Good pictures with a few problems

( - 2/25/05)

The camera appears to be constructed well, and the pictures, when set up are crisp and vivid. After only a month my flash would not pop up and the camera has a hard time focusing while using the zoom. Image stabilization is great, even at the full optical zoom. lack of a power meter means that spare batteries are a necessity all the time, although I can fill a 512 meg card between changes. Action photos can be a challenge to get in focus, and are impossible at automatic mode.
