- A great point & shoot with strength for high ISO pictures.
- A great point & shoot to backup a dSLR, ideal for traveling light and works great for indoor, party and night shooting.
- A bit bulky compared to others but the great strength is in the great ergonomics that provide a firm which I rely on heavily to shoot in 1/4 second in ISO 400.
- Auto ISO is erratic in the auto picture mode with tendency to go to ISO 800/1600 (the mode with the Red camera icon) . I default to use the M mode and learn to compensate with Ev compensation
- Outdoor pictures have good color and contrast, I refrain from using the Auto ISO as it tends to go high and I prefer fixed ISO or auto iso up to 400
- The built in flash is very capable as compared to my other point & shoot that I have used in the past. As long as I don't stay too close, the flash works very well.
- AF assist light with red color comes in very handy and I have used it in the dark as in party or aquarium visit with no issues, very dependable AF
- Macro on flowers and close up to gadgets are very reasonable with this p&s.
- Daytime outdoor photos tend to overexpose and I usually have Ev -1/3 as a default in M mode
- The menu and user interface is quite poor and easy to get mistakes in hitting the wrong button. I used this camera since 2006 and I still not managed to remember its button and menu design -- very odd design
- Biggest gripe from me is on the use of xD card and it is the slowest as compared to SD card.
- Battery life is outstanding
- Shutter lag is very minimum in my use with the camera.
- High ISO pictures are outstanding up to ISO 400. I have no issues at all with noise at ISO400. It is my go to gadget for night time traveling shooting.
