Overall Good camera
(Kapil Singh - 10/14/09)I have taken about 5000 pictures on that camera and printed about 200. The printed pictures are the best in quality and colours. Becasue I have selected the best ones.
Though it is a point and shoot camera with small sensor, but not doubt very versatile. To many features and settings for amatures who want to go in to DSLRs. Manual settings are fabulous. You cannot take a clear snap of half moon with auto settings but with manual, you can adjust the shutter speed and aperature value till you get the best picture.
Pros :
(1) Easy to Use
(2) Good quality Zoom
(3) Excellent image quality (with appropriate settings and environment)
(4) Good body built
(5) Nice coulous
(6) Too many features like DSLRs
(7) Good bettery life
(8) Tilting LCD
(9) Good macro mode
(10) Can take good snaps of fast moving subjects.
Cons :
(1) After ISO 100 Picture becomes granny
(2) Some times problems with auto white balance in indoor shots
(3) Hard to take excellent snap in full sunlight
(4) Inbuilt flash is good but speedlite needed for long range
(5) Hard to take clear picture in cloudy days
(6) Cannot focus if different contrast areas are in frame.. some areas are too dark and some are over exposed.
(7) Picture on PC is different than it looks on LCD
(8) Viewfinder is worthless.. no clear view though adjustable
(9) No UV filters can be attatched (if you do that you may damage the threading)
(10) Some times flash take too much time for charging.
Conclusion : Though there are too many pros and cons for this camera but still it is the best in its category. One should not comapare its image quality with any DSLR. With small senson its procuding nice snaps even at full zoom. So go for it become you jump into the world of DSLRs as i am doing.
