Just wanted to thank Jeff for his review on the Optio SV. I was really pleased when he confirmed everything I thought about the camera.
Fuzziness and poor picture quality, slow speeds, and most annoyingly appalling sound quality in video mode. Don't even think about taking videos in a noisy bar or club. On the up side the macro mode is excellent and 5x zoom a real treat.
Besides that it broke (http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3615) very easily when dropped from waist height. TBH I would expect more durability from a compact (perhaps that's just me).
Overall a bad investment on my part, and I wish I had waited for Jeff's review before bothering with this camera.
