New Casio P505

[sammnyc]

Hello everyone :)

I would like to know if anyone had a chance to use the new Casio P505 digital camera. I like the advanced video features compared to other cameras but I am concerned because it lacks a focus assist lamp and image stabilization.

I am attracted to this camera because it looks great and is a TRUE camera hybrid. Has anyone used it? What is your opinion? How does it work in low light? Does the camera focus well in low light?? Is there significant camera blur?

I would appreciate any information. Thank you.

There's another thread on the 505 here. In it several reviews of the camera are listed including the favorable O'Reilly review.

Also this site just put up some sample daylight shots:

To me the shots do not look that good, but I'm waiting for the full review from this site to see is an explanation....
