Fast, Affordable, and especially sturdy.

Things I like:
*Affordable, given the near-slr functionality of the camera.
*Fast; Quick power-up, fast write speed.
*Sturdy. I actually just dropped the camera from my desk, five minutes before I typed this article. As it lied on the floor, I stared at it and found myself in the beginnings of a mild anxiety attack. However, once I picked it back up, and powered it on, I found that the camera function without fail. This camera is very professionally handcrafted.
*Size; it's pretty small, but not too small. I'd say it's half-way between between a point and shoot camera, and a DSLR. When I have the conversion lens on, some people mistake it for a DSLR at first glance.
*Quality. Once you get your white balances and exposures right, you can get some really professional shots from this camera. I should know, I do this for a living. I use this camera for stock photography, and some studio portraiture. Delivered results to clients and they were pleased, and I received payment.
*Compatibility. Worked will with my cheap Bower bounce flash. A perfect match with my IBook G4. The camera keeps track of all shutter speeds, apertures, and exposure settings, and uploads them to IPhoto. Also hooks up to a television which is good, when I'm showing clients their photos (they are not all just surrounding me as I hold the camera).
Things that I don't like:
*The color "red" will tend to bleed in some shots. Especially in high ISO.
*Only works with USB cables that have that power cylinder on them (when transferring photos to my computer).
*Cannot zoom while recording in Video mode. You have to stop recording, then zoom in or zoom out, then hit the record button again.
*Scroll will is a little tricky to work with at first. You may accidently change your shutter speeds, aperture, or exposure settings when you first use this camera. After awhile you will become accustomed to depressing the wheel to lock in settings, so as not to accidently change these settings.
Overall the many benefits that I have seen with this camera outweigh the negative aspects of it. I'm thinking about buying a second one to give to my fiance (so that she doesn't touch mine). I recommend this to the savvy digital camera photographer, that wants to upgrade their point-and-shoot to something more advanced, and that has near dslr features and photo quality.
