Pictures average for 5MP, good size, but no separate charger?
( - 2/1/06)This is the first non-SLR camera I've ever owned. My expectations were low coming from such mid to high-end cameras such as Canon d20 and Panasonic FZ-20. I compared it to my mid-level FZ20 and the pictures are similar, but the small lens will take some getting used to. My biggest complaint is the inabiliy to take fast photos. It seems to que every time you take a shot, but I'm used to instantaneous, manual-focus driven picture taking where nothing has a delay. The consequtive mode is a joke, because it refocuses between every frame. I have yet to try it underwater, but from the other reviews, I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'm just drawn between purchasing the external flash to get any results at all, or just saving my free time altogether and returning it before I break it (from what I've read, it doesn't take much).
