Summary
It's classic and elegant look along with crisp clear photos make it suitable for anyone who wants to take high quality pictures. I've used it for about 2 years now and the quality of the photos are stunningly beatiful and I'm no professional photographer.

Strengths
Fast shutter speed, great crips clear Hexagon lense, light, B/W Macro, stylish elegant design.

Weaknesses
Low Ni-MH battery life, no optical zoom.

Summary
Very compact. On the other hand, lens and image quality is poor. Should not be included in high end category. But not bad for beginner camera.

Summary
This camera is a decent starter unit if you can get it closeout for under $400. The image quality is great if you don't need zoom. It functions like your average point&shoot 35mm and takes nice pictures. It didn't, however, meet my needs.

Strengths
Awesome color and overall image quality. Lens takes great, sharp photos; autofocus is very well designed. Auto white balance is perfect. Has nice black and white mode, takes nice macros. My camera came with Quest NiMH's

Weaknesses
No zoom, won't work with less then 1.3 volt cells (NiMH cells die FAST!), poor quality LCD fades in even the slightest ammount of light.

Customer Service
Non-existant. I needed the optional Lithium Ion battery pack and AC adapter. I e-mailed them looking for a retailer that would carry it, still havent' heard back.
