great value

( - 4/7/06)

well built little machine, fits beautifully in my hands and feels good too. picture quality is most impressive far superior to any slr 35mm i evewr had especially in manual mode, and oh so easy to use. large lcd is terrific and i think its styling is up with the best. love the practicality of AA batteries, high powered rechagables go for ever. could do with slightly larger view finder if anything, but its certainly no deterant. i dont need to spend twice or triple on a nikon or canond20 would be a waste of extra money for the same final result.
