"Wonderful!"
Pros: Very Light, Great images, Nice feature set, Strong flash
Cons: xD Picture Card, no Antishake
Summary: Given the utter lack of user reviews for this camera, I felt like taking a risk by purchasing it. But, after about two weeks of using this camera, I couldn't be happier by this purchase.
This camera is extremely light, very compact, great ergonomics for one handed operation and produces wonderful images. use of standard AA batteries is a huge plus over the Canon SD cameras. And I can bet on the image quality being at par (if not better) than the canons. I can say this because I also own a SD300.
Presence of a nice big optical viewfinder in addition to such a HUGE LCD in a camera of this size is wonderful. The pictures make it look big and heavy, but it's size is comparable to the SDs (apart from the bulging right side) and it is even lighter than canon SD series cameras. The bulge in fact makes it even more useful for one handed operation.
The only con (apart from xD) is that this camera is so light that a shaking hand messes up the images, since it does not have Antishake. If you're even an amateur photographer with steady hands, this should not bother you. But for longer shutter exposures, it definately requires a tripod.
Overall, very very happy with this camera and I intend to keep it for a long long time, unless I lose it or break it part
. Would also highly recommend it.
