I haven't used it, but it's one that I'm considering. There's a lot I like about it...four AA batteries is great...I can buy rechargables anywhere. The 6x optical zoom is awesome, as is 6.3mp. Plus it has a hot-shoe and you can put other lenses on it and some other nice higher-end features. The only thing I don't like is it's big...I want something that has good features but is the size of my mom's Kodak DX4900 point-and-shoot :) I found a good deal at buydig.com, which has good reviews as an online store. $424.00 after rebate!
