Very good product. The zoom at the wide end is significantly wider than almost all other cameras of this class, and this is much more useful than having more at the telephoto end of the zoom. This is its most compelling feature as far as I am concerned.

Picture quality good for the small receptor size. Battery life is exceptional. Could be the ideal pocket camera.

This camera comes with a long long lasting battery. I didn't have to charge for 2 birthday parties and half-day trip!!!

The movies recorded in UHQ-Wide mode are always choppy and the I/O of the camera cannot handle this resolution in movies even though they have this resolution available (UHQ-wide: 848 × 480)

As you go down with the resolution it performs OK.

Also, it does not optically zoom in the video mode. You can only digitally zoom which deteriorates the picture quality. The recorded sound is in mono rather than stereo.

Also, its not obvious how to manually tune the shutter speed other than using the available "best-shot" feature that modifies other setup parameters as well, which is not what you always want to do.

FYI.

I actually ordered this product but have been using my friends camera until it arrives for testing. I am not too impressed.
