1 Still Great after 1.5 years of use
After using SLRS and doing darkroom work for years, this was my first digital camera. I bought it almost two years ago. It takes great pictures, has easy controls, a nice movie mode (low resolution, but takes movies until the card is full). The start-up time is about 5-6 seconds. The LCD screen is a little on the small side (1.6 inches). On CR-V3 batteries, it can shoot for a long time (around 300 exposures, 70 of them flash pictures). I also use rechargable AA's on it, but those get eaten up after about 40 exposures.) My only complaint: the microphone for audio recording and audio on the movies is pretty lousy. It picks up soft sounds okay. Loud sounds distort, even when played back on a PC (the built-in speaker is pretty terrible). The photo software is above average. USB connection. Also, I dig the size, it is quite compact.
