  By David D. Busch
  
  Review summary: A wide-angle wonder, but this camera's not without its flaws.
  
  Pros: 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens, Excellent red-eye prevention, Ultra-high-speed 30fps burst mode
  
  Cons: Distortion at wide-angle settings, Viewfinder freeze/blank-out, Slow raw capture
