Good: Just about everything
Bad: only 3x zoom, but I can live with that
Comment: I came to this camera after previously owning a Nikon S560 and a Panasonic Lumix FS5. This camera takes better photo's than either of them, and is of far superior build quality.
To be honest the only thing that could be improved is the 3x zoom which is very average, but in other areas the camera is excellent. There is a good level of manual control on the camera, yet is also takes excellent photos in auto mode.
The camera focusses acurately, and does not produce much noise. The colours are also very accurate, and there are other colour modes to allow your colours to be made more vivid. There is evan a colour accent mode which allows you to take black and white shots, but have your selected colour be in colour. So it is perfect for having a colour photo of your car with a black and white background for example.
As for build quility it is perfect, it feels like it has been sculptured from a solid lump of stainless steel. It also looks very impressive.
This camera may be regarded as expensive but I bought mine from PC world for £149. I don't think you can get a much better alrounder for the same money.
