Great optics
(dazay - 8/5/09)I like an optical viewfinder, so this electronic thing is a disappointment. The standard objections (no HD video or shooting in RAW) mean nothing to me as I'm not interested in video and have long tired of RAW. If you want an intuitive, simple to use camera with a superb 20x lens then you will be well rewarded. Another shortcoming (lack of filter options) is addressed by Lensmate, so at the very least you can protect that superb lens with a skylight filter at all times and grab a polarizing filter while you're at it. Love not constantly changing lenses as with an SLR and lugging them about, and adore the incredible optical resolution of this camera which is flexible enough to address any lighting challenge.
