An impressive compact camera with 6X zoom and Image Stabilizer

loving my digital camera, an amateur photographer

Pros

6X zoom, Image Stabilizer, Video Quality, Long Battery Life

Cons

Slow when uses flash, Uses USB 1.1 for picture transfer

NOV

2007

I own this camera for more than a year and consider it the best deal for a compact digital camera with 6X zoom and image stabilizer. Image quality is very good, optical image stabilizer works well. Video clip quality is particularly impressive. It is the best video I have seen in a digital camera. Battery life is almost unbelievably long if you use NiMH batteries. The design is compact enough to carry the camera in pocket. USB 1.1 interface is slow for this type of camera. There are plenty of options, menu is easy to learn and navigate.
