Overall this camera is impressive, great picture quality, ease of use and full featured. Only cons I've found so far are:
- Battery duration (specially in smart mode since it's continuosly focusing, use P mode instead)
- The AE lock and +/- buttons lose their imprints very easily
Other than that you get excelent zoom, quick response (for this type of camera), lot's of settings and a SLR like effect with the viewfinder, this is great for shooting in bright light.
Another great feature is to switch from picture taking to start movie recording with a single button press.
