    CNET Review

    November 20, 2006

    The Good: Decent image quality at low sensitivity; helpful low-light features.

    The Bad: Noisy at high sensitivity; distinct purple fringing; sluggish; burst and high-ISO modes only shoot at half-resolution or lower.

    The Bottom Line: This small 10-megapixel shooter can produce great shots if the scene is well lit, but watch out for noise at about ISO 200.
