I have had three of these, alwys regretting selling each one for something 'better', up to and including a Nikon D100.
The resolution colour balance, accurate focusing and ease of use makes this camera incredibly friendly whether you are a point and shoot in full auto, or careful entirely manual know what you're doing type of photographer.
This camera does pretty much anything you would ever need it to, don't be fooled by other cameras with gazillion pixels, I use this camera for work and on 3MP it prints up to A4 just as well as a film camera!
Manual speeds up to a staggering 1/10,000th of a second, macro and super macro down to 1cm, an optical and digital zoom, runs two different memory card (CF and XD) built in flash with different settings, including a red-eye reduction that really works, a nice clear viewfinder with built in dioptre correction, easy to use viewscreen also, overlay grid screen when shooting architectural.
Easy to use menus, instant viewing of what you just took, zoom in, zoom out, crop/trim/resize, easy erase, which checks you want to really do it before so no unhappy accidents...
Selectable colour balance, chrome, std, black and white, easy to change ISO, built in video in 2 speeds, simple navigation using mostly one joypad type of up/down/left/right with an OK switch in the middle. Look, if I can use it, you can use it, I could go on and on about it, but I have not got one bad thing to say about this camera; it's a useable size,has a great lens, loads of functions, reall natural colour rendition, good battery life (uses 4 AA, not rare and fancy Lithium Ion Unobtanium) so a spare set of rechargeables or Duracells will see you through an entire day's shooting and reviewing!
This is a great camera. It will help you make the most of your digital photography! If you want to see what it can do in macro, visit simonkingwildlife.com (a brilliant site anyway) go to forums, British Isles, and look up my posts from June 2007 entitled Spider and Moth, also Grass snake and Moth; by mistergirth. Look at the quality of those pics, at only 2MP!
Anyway, I cannot extol it's virtues too much, but I would recommend anyone to get one. mistergirth
