Good: Excellent zoom, remote viewfinder via smart phone or iPod, pop-up flash, hi-res screen

Bad: very slow response to shutter button and zoom controls, faulty playback, poor picture quality

Comment: After reading the review I wonder whether I had a rogue camera. I was so disappointed with it that I took it back to the retailer and got my money back. The picture quality was noticeably worse than a similarly priced Canon. The response to the shutter button was sometimes non-existent and even when it did respond, the delay was significant. After taking a photo it was well over 2 seconds before I could zoom or take another shot so it was useless when in a moving vehicle taking photos of passing scenes. Finally, when reviewing photos in playback, it correctly showed the last photo taken but when I pressed the 'back' button to look at the previous photo, it jumped back over a 1000 photos and then the 'forward' button didn't return to the current photo. As I said at the start, a great disappointment.
