High Tech for the Technical Amateur
Overall an excellent camera for someone who likes high tech but doesn't necessarily have too much tech know-how.
The draw-backs are few, so I shall gets those out of the way now:
it's fairly heavy to carry around in a handbag, though not impossible, and
the zoom has to be set before you are 'filmimg' and cannot then be adjusted.
It's a dream to use for someone who knows little about focal lengths, light adjustments or even the difference between single lens reflex and a box brownie. It does, however, take high spec pics and good quality 'film'/videos.
I've yet to work out how to take pictures in very low light - the flash pictures themselves come out well, but the image on the screen is so dark I found it impossible to see what I was taking. I've got a few at a recent pub gig with cut off heads or the subjects almost out of shot.
There are enough settings on the dial to please anyone technically minded and a few very useful ones that do the job for those less descerning - bit like folks who use two settings on their washing-machine - it works well enough, so who's complaining.
The camera takes a large memory card, so there is no need to make too many changes, unless you are taking long video coverage - this does eat up the memory quickly. I love that you can use a standard memory card, though this is true of even the most basic digital camera these days.
The cable to upload of a PC also works on an iMac so no need to make costly changes or be inconvienced there -no need for any software to be uploaded. I found it very easy to upload pictures to iPhoto and make the necessary changes to them there. I've never found it so easy before to do this, but then I've been working with very low spec cameras previously.
I hope, if you decide to go for a camera in this range, that you enjoy it as much as I have. Look out for the minor glitches I'm mentioned, it's likely a more up to date version will have made improvements - I bought mine very good quality second hand, with all of the attachments and software still in the box.
