Review: Awesome compact camera. The best buyable mix of size, image quality, advanced control and built-in technology. The manual controls alow a wide range of options in Manual and Program modes. The Scene modes give all easy-to-use that a begginner needs to take nice pics without worries. The color dial is really good to change the feel of a shot quickly and before the click, and the edition options in the camera guive evem more options to the user, options only available in a computer otherwise. Mechanical Image Stlibization is effective, and you have the option to use the mechanical and a digital stablization together at a price of lower image quality drawn by the digital one. A flawless buy if you want one of the best cameras that you can hide in a pocket and make your friends ask later how they didn't saw the big pro-like camera that took that pics!
