Full Review

I bought this camera and returned it within two weeks. The picture quality was very good. I used both the default point and shoot automatic adjustments as well as several of the preset shot modes. They all turned out well. However, the LCD screen, although quite large, was virtually useless outside - not bright enough. I had to lower my eyeglasses and bring the camera up under my baseball cap visor to be able to see to compose shots. The camera is nice and thin but because the top side is rounded, it makes it very hard to hold for a shot (and easy to drop). The "on" buttons positioning at the top of that rounded curve also makes it very easy to accidentally turn the camera on when you are holding it or when put into a carrying case (it should have at least been recessed). These design flaws are why I returned it.

On the plus side, the battery seemed to be lasting very long. I took 200+ photos at the highest resolution and the charge icon still read nearly full. The hard aluminum case seems very durable which is good, as the poor design will probably result in several drops.
