This is a super camera that looks and feels twice its price and sports a high quality Pentax lens. Optical performance is excellent and the feature spec is cracking. Images exceed expectations : colours tend to be slightly over-saturated and photos have a higher than average degree of noise, but they are generally sharp and crisp.
Also consider: Fuji Finepix e550
