“Pros: Very good photo quality (though see issues below), Compact and stylish metal body, Built-in Wi-Fi for wireless transmittal of photos to a PC or printer (though see issues below); Camera can be controlled wirelessly; Printer Adapter included (Nikon charges $50 for theirs), Very good performance, 2.0″ LCD is viewable in low light conditions, AF-assist lamp, Very good movie and continuous shooting modes (though see issue below), Unique My Colors feature, USB 2.0 High Speed support

Cons: Some corner softness; noisy images at high ISO settings, Redeye is a problem, $100+ price premium for Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi features aren’t Mac compatible — yet, Can only record about 8 minutes of VGA video due to 1GB file size limit, Battery life isn’t great, More manual controls would be nice, Can’t swap memory cards while camera is on a tripod.”
