It is well-made, takes good photos, has huge amounts of zoom in a small package, and is not too expensive. I just wonder who will still buy them? This is probably what I call a refined end-game product; there is nothing much to go on beyond this without significantly breaking the mould. I just wish camera makers will hurry up and see the <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20073271-264/iphone-4-tops-flickr-camera-stats-a-closer-look/" target="_blank">signs on the wall</a> and do something about it already! </p>
