Great subcompact
( - 4/14/05)Takes great pictures in daylight. It has a great feel and operates very fast. The battery lasts forever. Prints look excellent. Overall the best choice in subcompacts.
Issues that I have faced:
. indoor pics require a flash or tripod, otherwise pics come out blurry
. red eye problem (common for these subcompacts)
. Focusing software (AiAF) focuses on the wrong objects, so I had to turn it off to get well focused pictures.
. No battery meter to tell you where you stand in terms of battery life still left. So I carry a spare with me at all times.
