Amazing camera - wish they stocked it in stores
Great camera for the size and price. The kits lens works fine for daily use and the focus is really fast. I'm also using it with the Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 lens to shoot theater performances and it's a great combination.

- low light
- fast focus
- bright LCD
- compact but capable
Cons:
- Need to find SCP to easy control
