Summary
worth every buck I've paid for it... and that's quite many for such a tiny thing. Outperforms my former (bulkier) canon elf series SD850 and (only 35mm at short focal) SD1000, but for speed , with which respect all 3 seem equivalent. I only wish I were on the other side of the ocean to pay it less than half of what I've paid here: quite strange from something coming from europ (Leica?) and east asia(Panasonic)!
Strengths
built quality, lens (short focal -28mm- + Leica quality), size, design...
wide video and quality of these; quality of pics.
displayed histogram option for every shot; manual white balance trimming on demand.
Weaknesses
none that I' m aware of; I've heard of the "softness issue", by high sensitivity; only a point at 1250 asa... which you're not likly to use everyday... It's likely most users/testers stick to some fully automatic mode ("beginner") or misuse the settings interface in some combination that leads the camera to force such too high sensitivity for everyday shooting.
Similar Products Used
SD1000 and SD850
Customer Service
you can forget about it; it'll work find till you kill it: it's on me whereever I go, I mean, almost: business travel, vacation, (including tough MTB rides, ski trecking...) it'll ever fit the more tiny pocket of yours.
