Love the pics - hate the lens cap

( - 5/15/06)

Best in class - small compact 10x zoom with great crisp photos at low ISO and good lighting. Some caveats - "high intensity" using ISO 800-1600 autoset by the camera produces brilliant small photos but any enlargement is hopeless - patches of blurry colors with no resolution...another caveat is that you have to use an external lens cap which if you attach to the camera with a string gets in the way, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX A UV FILTER onto this camera - so the lens is always at risk.

Food photos are brilliant!
Telephoto to 10x zoom are excellent, and even with digital zoom to 40x in daylight produces usable detail...

No regrets buying this - I have used many digital cameras including my Olympus E-1 and this is one of the BEST.
