- I'd recommend it, too!
-
- Although the Stylus is assembled in Hong Kong (at least for
- mine), and it is all-plastic, the pictures are quite sharp. Developed
- to 4x6, the pictured taken by the Stylus showed no difference from the
- ones taken by my EOS630 using an EF35-70 lens at 35mm. The fill-in
- flash of the Stylus is also very accurate.
-
- I have a more fancy Ricoh Shotmaster zoom (P&S zoom, assembled in
- Taiwan), but the sharpness is really so-so even developed to 4x6.
-
- The only complaint about the Stylus is that its dust cover may leave a
- small opening so dust can go through. But with a good camera bag (I
- use the small Tamrac bag), this sure be no problem...
-
- Using a camera bag defeats the advantages of the camera. I carry it in
- my shirt/jacket pocket in the clothe case that came with it.
- I just occassionally blow/brush out the lens area.
-
- Add one more complaint, RED eye! The flash is so close to the lens
- that has the worst red eye problems I've experienced. The red eye
- reduction just makes smaller red eye and allows the subject to move
- substantially before the picture actually get exposed.
-
- It is quite sharp. If you rarely use the flash, it is superb.
