I normally use DSLR's, but I wanted a compact camera for a touring holiday - didn't want to carry the weight this time.
I was attracted to this little camera by its 12 optical zoom and its Leica lens, so I expected it to be a good little point and shoot, but it has outstripped my expectations completely.
My first test for it was the Hampton Court Flower Show and it perfomed beautifully.
In the crowds it was literally reach out, point and shoot, but even at full zoom and single handed, the shots were sharp and the colours beautiful.
Not only does it have an impressive zoom, it also starts with a great wide angle 25mm - perfect for landscape.
It is a well built piece of equipment, it starts up quite quickly - even for someone used to the instant reaction of a DSLR - and it feels solid and well built.
The battery lasts well - I take quite a lot of shots and use a lot of zoom, but it still manages about 250 pictures on a charge.
I did put a protective cover on the screen as soon as I got the camera to keep it from scratching, and as with any screen, you really can't see what you're shooting in bright light which I did worry about, but it's worth just clicking away - the camera can manage without you for most types of photo!
I wouldn't replace the DSLR for more detailed work, but as they say, the best camera is the one you have with you, and for that I ceretainly recomend this little camera.
