Rating: 5 stars
Summary: unsure
Review: I've been researching cameras, this one sounds like a good find. Sadly, there aren't that many reviews for it. I want a camera that has good zoom and is quiet. The "Spy Camera" comment definately pushes me toward this item. Still looking...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Solid Camera
Review: The picture quality on this camera is pretty good. For most events, it has replaced my SLR (which is just too big and clunky otherwise). It has a grid which allows you to focus on different items in your viewfinder, which can be very useful.

However, If you are dealing with a scene that has multiple focus points, the "area focus" grid starts jumping around, which I've been told by others is somewhat annoying (doesn't bother me).

Overall, while I ideally like controlling all my settings, I find that this camera is just ideal for any kind of setting where you would want easy pocket portability.

I would change one thing: The little flaps that cover the lense seem pretty easy to move, and make me a little nervous about keeping the camera in my pocket: I would personally prefer a hard cover like some Kodak flip cameras or even the Olympus.

But otherwise, I would highly recommend.
