What's Hot

18x optical zoom, no noticeable chromatic aberration, no lens distortion, relatively compact size

What's Not

Colours were a little under-saturated, images looked soft, noticeable grain at ISO 200

The Final Word

This is a decent model to choose if you want a long zoom range and versatile controls, yet don't want a bulky digital SLR. It's good for travellers in this respect, despite its soft pictures and slightly underdone colour.
