"do some simple manuals and your set"
Pros: sharp image, manuals, endless battery life, AA, compact flash, good ergo
Cons: full automatic mode not as good as semi-automatic, worrysome zoom switch
Summary: love this camera. this 3 megapixel hits the sweet spot. a 512mb card will hold over 500 pictures. all of which you can take with just the 4 AA batteries.
manual controls are awsome. i don't trust the automatic though. i mainly set the camera to iso 100 and manually control the flash. For some reason, the camera really struggles with auto-iso settings and flash.
once set, pictures look superb.
I also love the size. Many of the cameras are so small, they hard to hold still, or very easy to drop.
I mainly wish the camera was lighter. almost all of the wieght from batteries. The a510 looks to solve the problem. but then again, i never have to worry about batteries with the a75.
