What it is: A pocket-sized digital camera with an optical image stabilizer and 6x optical zoom.
What it costs: I paid 360 for mine, the prizes range from 300 to about 400 depending on the store.
How long have you owned/used it: A little over four months.
Pros:
Conclusion: Easily the best small digicam I've used, it excels in pretty much every area. The zoom is great, bringing distant object almost to touching distance. The image stabilizer really works and the image quality stays high even when digital zooming is used, something I have yet to see in some other manufacturers' models. The fixed display is a downside in some situations but this far I have only seen one such situation and even then I could see the screen well enough to point the camera.
If you want a handy digital camera with lots of zoom and an image stabilizer, this is your choice.
