Fabulous little camera

(Peter Penarth - 12/8/06)

I have owned one of these since they first came out and I have nothing to criticise that I did not know about. My late wife used the top jpeg setting I always shoot in tiff and we have been amazed at the quality. I use large memory cards (1GB)for my tiff shots and together with decent editing software (and knowing how to use it!) I have produced images that have had top range slr users gasping. As for longevity I cannot say because I have never had a moments trouble with mine. I keep it in a soft pouch which protects the admittedly flimsy-looking lens cover clean and other than that I just use what should be normat TLC.
