Anyone have one of these? If so are you happy with it? Pricing? Where to buy? Or, another suggestion for ultra slim say 5mp?
I am looking to upgrade from my Nikon 2100, (as a back up its just ok) and my Canon S 40 ( great but too big and heavy to cary in a pocket)
Thanks
Daniel :confused:

Looks to be a great camera with a lot of chromatic abboration. The optical zoom concept is really cool. I love the manual controls and size, but the lens needs to be replaced.

The concept is great, but the optics appear to need some tweaking, and the price needs to drop by several hundred to make this a viable purchase (Panasonic is selling a $450-$500 camera for $700). Wait for a price drop if you absolutely love the camera, or look elsewhere. This is a first generation product, and nearly all first gen products have major items to tweak before those products are truly ready for primetime.
