Summary: Thought I'm a beginner in photography, I choose this one cause my favourite field is the sea. And taking pictures on a small boat and big seas is quite dangerous for any...
Excerpt: Overall this camera does what it needs to. I don't think it was worth the $$ even though it was the cheapest price i could find in AUS.

Pros: Size, lovely white balance, long lasting battery, video, sealed, level, quiet, viewfinder.
Cons: Noise at ISO 100, narrower DR than previous DSLR's, shadow noise.
