not that great
Reviewed by emmo. Review Posted 01/11/2009
got one of these to take on holiday to thailand. Not happy with it one bit. froze on me a few times while taking pictures, only way to get it working again was to remove the battery.
second screen fuction I think I used once and the touch screen tilt feature is a joke!
The only good thing going for it is being able to record in 720p video.
waste of money
