I tried this camera for a very specific purpose: The HD video quality had to greatly exceed that of my Fujifilm F10’s VGA video quality. In a head-to-head comparison, it flunked. The resolution at 720 Fine was not quite as sharp as the F10, and the autofocus searched excessively. The macro function is also not as good as the F10, losing focus at about twice the distance from the subject. For someone less fussy, who doesn’t already own an F10, it might be a fine choice. My F10 is 5 years old or so. I hope we don’t have to wait too much longer for truly crisp HD in a point and shoot. The limitation might be the compression. It’s in motion video that the new Sony seems to lose out.
