Small but mighty

By Inaki

from Chicago, IL on 9/19/2007

Pros:

19:6 Ratio is wonderful, Comfortable Controls, Quiet, Strong Construction

Cons:

Exposed LCD, Slow Sensor

Best Uses:

Art, Documentary, Fun, Photojournalism, Travel

Describe Yourself:

Casual user, Getting started, Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A bit expensive for a point and shoot, and not exactly a "pocket" camera. In any case it takes amazing pictures and has a lot of flexible parameters. The 19:6 format is a nice touch and makes for a great addition to a portable camera.

Good so far

By PJVJ from Ventura, CA on 9/2/2007

Pros:

Bright LCD, Comfortable Controls, Good raw write speed- 2 s, Quiet, Small Lag Time, Small Size, Strong Construction

Cons:

Huge files in raw20MB

Best Uses:

Art, Documentary, Fun, Photojournalism, Travel

Describe Yourself:

Professional, Student, Visual journalist

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have has this camera for a few days now and i must say that i am pretty happy with it. Small, silent and good image quality makes this a keeper. I am going to primarily shoot this for BW output so the higher grain in higher ISO works for me just fine. But for color i probably would not want to shoot over 800. I only shoot RAW and it writes rather quickly..around 1.5-3 sec (havent timed it) but the file size is huge..about 20mb, which fills up my 2gb SD card quickly (85 images). Other than that i must say that i will have to shoot more in order to realize the cameras potential and capabilities.
