"It has an impressive number of modes to tailor the pictures to particular situations. It would be nice if there was a way to manually focus to create depth-of-field effects. I like the Leica lens; it takes very clear pictures (when the auto-focus doesn't do the wrong thing). "

"I love this camera. I like that I can use manual controls for tweaking the lighting. The auto and anti-shake features are great. The macro mode could be improved but works well. I like that you can push the optical zoom to 8x by lowering the pixal count. It also takes very good video. "
