New playtoy

Here is an interesting camera. It is a p&s with 10x zoom. Some may like it, some may not.

Turn up the sound.

It's pretty interesting, especially at that price. Although on the other hand their Venus engine tend to over utilize the noise reduction function so although their ISO 800 will be far cleaner than ISO 800 Canon, the picture will come out very soft.

But if you want a camera that's pocketable with superzoom, this may be the answer.

Again, the price is right! US$350 MSRP, it's competing against Canon S2 IS which is much bulkier (definitely not pocketable, unless you have really really big pocket).
