Good Points

Solid and sophisticated like Canon's SLRs. It has point and shoot features as well as manual. Excenllent picture quality and flash lag time.


Bad Points

Price and limitation of 30 seconds movie shooting per file.


General Comments

I have owned this camera for more than three years. I have no desires to upgrade this camera, as it is already very sophisticated and feature-packed. Occassionally, I will bring my other SLR (Canon Elan IIe) with me (along with G2) just because it allows me to zoom in my objects with 300mm telephoto lense. Aside from its excellent image quality and standard point and shoot features, I find this camera is particularly useful when I am not sure of the picture results due to lighting. This camera will automatically take pictures with +1 expo and -1 expo to let me choose the best one. I was so impressed to see the result of Cinderella Castle in Disney World at night. As I inidicated, the price is the downside. I can't complain much because I bought this camera when it first just came out. My other friends ended up paying for half of the price about one and half years later. Although I pointed out that this camera has limitation on movie mode, I ended up not using it that much. I truly believe that DV does this job better than still image camera, so most of time I use DV for movies.
