Cons: AF performance could be better (an AF illuminator would help too) ; EVF difficult to see in low light ; Still some purple fringing (really hard to avoid on these big lenses, though) ; Zoom controller a little sluggish ; Slowest shutter speeds only ...

Verdict: In the "old days", there wasn't much competition in the ultra zoom arena. That is changing, with Fuji, HP, and Toshiba getting into the act. That's good, because it means that consumers will get better products

Review summary: This ugly duckling manages to pack in the power, quality and a far-sighted zoom.

Verdict: Ugly looks aside, you can't really argue with the overall Camedia package at this price.
