x Color Generally good color accuracy Some problems with yellows
x Noise Low noise at low ISO settings Noise is significant at higher ISOs
x Resolution Image stabilization works well Images get soft at longer zoom settings
x Video Video has good color and detail Video is only standard definition
x Playback Plenty of playback options The low resolution screen doesn't show fine details well
x Hardware Long 10x zoom lens Zoom makes an annoying buzzing noise
x Controls Full manual control Manual focus is awkward
x Design & Handling Buttons are well placed and sized Grip is a little small; camera can slip from the hand
