This cam is one of the best of its quality. I was really surprised by the amazing quality of the pics. the shutter response speed is extremely amazing. Its better and much faster than Canon IXY. 12MP takes a lot space for each photo, costing you a lot of disc space. The second best part is, it comes with MicroSD adapter. so, if you dont want to buy the XD card seperately and if you have micro SDHC with you. just plug and play. The camera's HDMI is promising. but, i havent checked it yet. coz the cable is to be bought seperately. but, still it comes with RCA composite cable to play the video on the TV.
The color, finishing is good.
Personally i have a negative point on the zooming functions. and its nothing but, the buttons. it has W and T buttons and not like a joystick like that of Canon IXY and many other models. it might be quite annoying some times.
The quality of zooming is very good.
you will really be surprised by the extra features that you can take pics in many modes like fisheye lens and so on.
the panorama function is truly amazing and far best.
I would strongly recommend this camera for anybody who wishes to buy to a pocket cam that has all the best functions you may dream of in a small unit like this.
