We bought one of these s/hand in Jessops in Norwich - rush of blood to the head!

It came with all its bits - rechargable batteries, cables for the laptop etc etc. I was a little unsure of it at first - really didn't like it compared to my Olympus OM1 and OM2 - however, it is now so long since I've used them, I can't quite remember where I left them.

The camera does video clips with sound and a good range of photo styles and resolutions - being able to edit on the camera is great as is the 120 or so images you can get at the lowest resolution setting.

I like the size of the camera in the hand - it is simillar to a modern auto SLR in feel and the buttons are where you expect to find them. Use the camera with the viewfinder rather than the screen and you can shoot away all day without any battery worries.

What's the downside? Well, there is that electronic thing where you press the button and it takes the phote when it feels like it - it lacks the control which you get with a mechanical shutter - at least if you press it at the wrong time it's your fault, with this one you press and then there is a delay before the shutter operates - not too good if you are trying to catch movement, mind you - you can change the "sound" it makes when the shutter operates - so maybe you can alter other shutter settings - obviously someone will need to read the instructions!

It has probably been improved on now - but it has an array of features - you can set it to black and white or colour - which is neat and which allows a lot of control to the user.

Can't help with the new price, we paid about 500 pounds s/hand, I have used more modern ones - but, I prefer this one. It is good in your hand, the controls are well sited, the menu logic is good - clear and easy to use - I, naturally, haven't read the instructions but can still get along with it pretty well.

£500 sounds very expensive for a second hand camera. I wonder how much it cost new?
