"A great, fast, durable, camera that fits in your pocket!!!"
Pros: size, image quality, features, screen, design, and so much more...
Cons: needs a rubber grip on the door to help open it, and safty lock for vide to still mode... but that's it!!!!
Summary: It's hard to say what's so good about this camera in just a few words... Most importantly, it feels right. I've shot the Sony models, and it's hard to even take the picture- size does matter, and there is such a thing as too thin. The Z1's design is great- easy to find buttons, very comfortable, easy navigation, and fast- from live to playback, and from off to on. The image quality is very good for a point and shoot: very little break up, excellent color, and it's sharp. Also, the menu gives you everything you need and then some- b&w mode, and my favorite- chrome mode which boosts color saturation. Also, it has a natural light setting which is excellent for no flash photography while indoors. The video mode is a flip of a switch, and works great- even the audio is good. I have a 1 gig XD card and it will give me over 400 images on 5 meg, or 15 minutes of video- that is great. As soon as 2 gig cards come out, double it. I'm very happy with the camera, and I am a professional photographer who never owned a digital point and shoot camera simply because I didn't like them... until now.
