I'm all for criticism, and critical reviews, but preferably one based on actual use. I can honestly say that this is a different camera when used outdoors - quite often indoors it will not focus.
Caveat, it's still a sub-£280 camera not a top digital SLR
Bottom line - if upgrading from a 3x digital zoom, or fixed digital camera this will be worth the money

The problem in low light is the lack of an autofocus assist light. The sad thing is that the image stabilising should make it really good for available light shooting.Quacker said:I repeat again, this camera is exactly what you'd expect it to be when working indoors - poor!- the autofocus works really well in good/natural light - the camera shop owner has possibly never bothered testing the camera in a "real" environment.

I have a Z3 and am more than pleased with its daylight performance. The IS makes the extra zoom usable hand-held.
