Quick review

The good
Great AF, build, lens and exposures combine with a nice price and smaller, lighter camera sure to appeal to anyone wanting a sophisticated ‘point and shooter’.
The bad
Standard AA batteries (supplied) will last for almost 10-shots! You’ll need to budget for a decent set of rechargeable AAs. Noise over ISO 400 is intrusive and the camera does not so much leaps from the starting blocks as crawl onto the track.
Verdict
One of the nicest point and shoot digital cameras gets even better.
