Patience rewarded
The 2800 Zoom is no speed demon, with a shot-to-shot delay of more than three seconds at high resolution. The four-shot continuous mode, however, cuts the between-shot time to less than a second. We wish only that the viewfinder didn't black out while you're using it. The camera's battery life was longer than we expected, especially given that it comes with alkaline batteries. You'll get more stamina out of rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride cells.
Our test shots were well exposed, with pleasing color and a respectable dynamic range. The images exhibited a slight bit of noise--particularly noticeable in large expanses of sky--and details in dark shadow areas tended to get lost. But overall, the picture quality was very good. Flash coverage was even and generous, and we got good results in a range of indoor and outdoor lighting conditions.
