Good Points
Very good quality of pictures, high colour fidelity, fast processor to make sequences, menu complete and easy to use, custom WB, not very common.
Bad Points
Battery life is really, really disappointing; in cold situations you really are lost!
Video recording needs a high speed card to get the best results but nevertheless is poor in quality.
General Comments
I have had the Kyocera Finecam S5R with me for nearly five years and I have an history of love and hate with this camera. With new and high quality batteries (e. g. Hhnel HL-900) in warm or hot weather is perfect (but don't forget one or two extra batteries). If you like high mountains and cold like me, just forget it!
