>>95404 i do not like them. the manual focus is miserable. i have lost hundreds of potentially awesome shots because of the slow autofocus and clumsy manual focus. the only time i can really get a shot i'm 100% satisfied with is if whatever i'm shooting is sitting relatively still. i tend to work with the aperture as wide as it goes because i like my high shutter speed, and i have missed some serious opportunities because of focus problems and misplaced DoF. the ability to manual focus quicker using a ring like on SLRs would make this camera perfect for me, but i doubt they can implement that on a fixed-lens camera. they could even have fixed this by making a 2-stage rocking directional thumb pad that would register input for either fast focus or fine focus in manual focus mode, but i can't find anything out there that has anything like that.
in addition to that whole kebab, i don't like the lcd preview because sometimes i can't tell if what i'm shooting is in focus at all on the little screen, the fastest it shoots on continuous shooting mode is often insufficient (less than 3/sec, including very inconvenient lag at the 6 and sometimes 4 MP settings if i'm taking 5 to 20+ shots in a row), and the time between pressing the shutter and the actual shutter release is too long. it's impossible to take one timed snapshot because of this, especially if i'm using the flash or autofocus, because then there's no telling when it's going to decide to actually take the damn picture. i end up using continuous shooting instead of timing shots because i actually have a better chance of hitting it just right if i spray 'n pray so to speak instead of trying to guess what mood it's in. either way, this is a frustrating lack of control.
