This is a fast camera, ready to shoot in 1,2 sec., 3,5 fps for 5 shots, jpg and RAW, VGA movie with 30FPS, 3x zoom, effective 6,2 milj. pixels,3x optical zoom, good battery live, bright 134.000 pixel lcd, raw file on x-d card in just 5 sec.
And most of all much more rendering of highlight detail then a regular camera. i am using it now for about 8 months and i love it.
Good for digiscoping, only drawback, no cable /remote connetion.
