In reply to fatcat: I've had mine for a few months and so far, it's been great. Low light shooting is very good, lovely colour reproduction, brilliant panoramic sweep modes (in horizontal and vertical format), good battery life (even when cold in the mountains). I use it as an instant point and shoot compact, haven't tried many other settings and haven't shot in RAW. Bought mine from Digital Rev and all good. Charger comes with a UK adapter which is quite a loose fit, but works ok.
Great camera, expensive, but a huge step up from my previous Canon Ixus compacts.
