"excellent camera with sharp and detailed pictures"
Pros: speed, design, sheer quality of pictures
Cons: know your ISO, select low and hold camera well
Summary: This camera is truely superb.
The startup time, quality of pictures and videos is outstanding.
Some more manual control would have been nice. And shooters in low light should either select the iso manually and/or make sure that they don't shake much, as the camera's chip goes for detail over smoothness. Also ensure that the low light focusing LED is pointing at the point you want in focus - and use the focus lock (something the cnet reviewer was obviously not familiar with).
I have showed the pictures I have taken to many of my colleagues, alot of whom have expensive dslrs. They say that they are the best pictures they have ever see from a compact. These are some shaky ones I took just after delivery:

I can strongly recommend this camera to anyone who doesn't need/want manual controls.
