Pros: Small, fast turn-on, easy to use, most default settings fine.
Cons: Making manual adjustments to exposure difficult

One of the smallest ultracompacts available in US now (May/June 2007); very good value.

Very easy to use (purchased as gift for spouse). I really like the fact that it still has an optical viewfinder (useful in bright outdoor settings).

Most of the default settings or automatic settings are quite good. Changing some of the settings are not quite as intuitive as one would like (cycling flash options, for example--turning red-eye on/off is from the tools menu, rather than just cycling the flash button).

Turns on/off pretty quickly (on the order of 1 second or so).

Battery life also appears excellent.
