CNET Review
The Good: Wide zoom range; easy to use; innovative Digital Flash feature.
The Bad: Very slow EVF and LCD updates; no support for uncompressed files or an external flash; dock costs extra.
The Bottom Line: Its 8X zoom aside, this 5-megapixel camera rates as ho-hum for both its intended enthusiast audience and everyday shooters.
