"Best camera I ever head, finally a proper hybrid"
Pros: - Great attention to details
- Lecia Lense
- Great Movie (no limit to length)
- 12x zoom
- really compact
- great photo qualityCons: - no manual control
Summary: Excellent Camera!! A real hybrid... no longer need to sacrifice in video quality. I pick this over LX-3 because i usually don't use the manual controls no matter how much i love to.
- bad AVHD format - cannot be easily playback in either mac or Windows
- no support for Mac
- Dial is extremely annoying if not in position (it won't allow to shoot or view the photos if you dial are not click to the right mode)

Actually, Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7) works quite fine with AVCHD lite I played a test movie the first day I had it, directly from the camera. Vista probably works fine as well, but not tested due to lack of Vista (thankful).

I have a Mac, would you NOT suggest this camera?

iMovie '08 works with many tapeless camcorders that record to flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or DVD media. These devices use a USB 2.0 cable and include camcorders using MPEG-2 (standard definition) and AVCHD (high definition) formats. If you use the AVCHD format you will need a Mac with an Intel-based Core Duo processor or better.
