- Ease of Use
Excellent "out of the box" results; O.I.S. works down to at least 1/4 sec; full manual control; exc range settings for white balance (including user set), colour, contrast and sharpness; hot shoe for external flash (perfect for studio work); longish zoom range; fully manual focusing; face recognition. Sharp. Range of image size, format and compression settings.
ISO from 80 to 1600 (3200 at reduced size) but very noisy above 400 like any other compact.
Movie mode very good
Bad Points
Poor battery life; no raw image files (though that doesn't bother me too much); no twisting LCD; grip not entirely comfortable; MF/AF etc easily disturbed.
General Comments
Bought as back up to my D100 which I use a lot for studio work hence the hot shoe is invaluable. It's now my go everywhere camera, living in a small bum bag!
I also like the OIS which is brilliant.
In retrospect may have been better waiting for the Nikon D40? But I do like a small camera just to be with me at all times and dSLRs don't quite suit that.
Not convinced the 10MP is worth having though since the results aren't any better than the Fuji F10 Digital Camera I had.
I'll put some images up on my web site www.howardleigh.me.uk
On average, people found this review very helpful
