The Pros:3" articulating LCD display with higher than average 460K dot resolution. Dedicated electronic viewfinder with 201K dot resolution. 24x zoom lens with great range (25-600mm).
The Cons:Large size - the form factor of a full dSLR. Noisy and blurry images above ISO 400. High price rivals some entry level dSLRS with much bigger sensors, $100 more than the previous generation offering.
