General Comments
I've been waiting for a digital camera like this for such a long time. With a fast growing technology I have been waiting for a camera to replace my 35mm compact camera. A camera with great colour depth, sharpness, and detail in shadow and highlights. We finally have a camera that can achieve that. I do various kinds of photography, from landscapes to portraiture work. The lens is sharp and very responsive to whatever you throw at it. It works well in all conditions making it very versatile. The manual controls allow you to have more control with exposures and flash compensation, which helps a lot when you don't want to rely on the camera to do everything for you! Another major step is the new picture cradle. What a brilliant and simple idea. No messing about with leads any more. Its easy and very fast. All in all an amazing bit of kit which has loads of features and provides you with excellent pictures. Must buy!!
