Review

Pros:
-- Wonderful image quality, especially with RAW mode. Photoshop Camera Raw plugin 3.1 will read it (yeah!).
-- Wide range of image size and compression options.
-- Very good wide angle lens, great for travel, landscapes. The overall range from wide to portrait is ideal for "street" use.
-- Excellent macro mode.
-- Very low noise for this kind of camera, ISO 400 is actually usable!
-- Solidly built. While not attractive, it looks very purposeful and serious -- which it is.
-- A nice complement of direct use buttons with command dial. Keeps you out of the menus for most things.
-- Supports both CF and xD cards.
-- Long battery life - about 450 shots.
-- Unique swivel on the color LCD, works great.

Cons:
-- Slow! This is the main thing you give up vs a DSLR. Raw shots take 7 seconds (!!!!) to save. Image review is fairly slow and tedious.
-- Autofocus does not work well in low light. You end up doing lots of manual focus, which is not ideal on this kind of camera.
-- Menus are a bit clunky, take a while to get used to. I have to admit I like the Canon approach better.
-- Panorama mode only works with xD cards.
-- Lens cap pops off when you turn it on. Kind of humorous.
