      Review summary: How does this super zoom perform?

      Pros: Great range of options, simple to use for novices, options for advanced users, good build quality

      Cons: Price, electronic view finder not fantastic, needs xD-Picture Card (not supplied), battery life, image quality can suffer

      Verdict: Wide range of options and solid build quality are offset by image problems through the compromises needed to pack this much lens into this small a body
