Good Points
Good camera, i would not say it is light or small because the PENTAX OPTIO S4 is much smaller , slimmer and lighter. More features also. Photo quality wise it is the best. Accurate and has shutter speed control. For those who dun't know that u can control shutter speed go to "FUNC" then explosure then press "SET" to change the shutter speed. U also need to enable long shutter speed in the menu. The cermite combine aluminium surface look nice too.

Bad Points
The camera do get warm easily. I prefer they have the EVF (SMall LCD screen) then have the optical viewfinder which i find is not accurate. Not much of bad point.

General Comments
I have seriously considering a compact camera which can produce superb photo quality. Some of my chioce are PENTAX OPTIO S4, CANNON IXUS 400 and CASIO XILIM Z4. I ranked image quality as my first choice thus i forgo the 2 Inch LCD of the casio and the slimness of the PENTAX. The Canon Ixus 400's manual control is quite fun too. U can adjust shutter speed up to 15sec, adjust explosure, white balance too. Furthermore it comes with a free 128 CF card and $50 cheaper then the PENTAX. I would said confidently, go for it!!
