Great Idea--touch type better for a newbie though (but LOVE LOVE LOVE the screen!)

( - 6/20/06)

I do medical photography and some traveling and am graduating from a coolpix 5200 which I loved but finally died. I saw the great screen on the pentax and the touch face and loved the idea but the camera was too new and had no reviews.

At first, I loved it, but it has LOTS of limitations.

PROS
1) GREAT GREAT screen
2) Great size

PROBS
1) Full 30FPS video was good but I missed LOTS of them because you have to push the button down so long for it to start to record

2) The camera shutter sound is so quiet even with the volume all the way up so making me get paranoid whther I got the photo or not.

3) LONG LAG TIME between pics and with flash pics auto focus — even when changing setting to "fast" mode. No anti-shaling makes many resulting images blurry and frustrating

4) Touch screen at first is good but it takes too long to switch between settings because you have to "touch" buttons right on rather than pushing real buttons.

5) With such a large screen, a carrying case would have been nice if it came with it...

Overall I sent it back and am still searching...
