Pros + manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
- Automatic lens shutter
Cons - no microphone and headphone jacks
- no accessory shoe
- no filter thread
- display resolution only average
- wide angle
- little manual control
Conclusion The options for manual control surpass those of competing models.Hardly any lens distorsion, good sharpness and wide angle in combination with acceptable low-light capabilities: that is a novelty in this price region.However, there is zero connectivity in terms of microphones etc.With little wide angle, small sensors, lean low-light performance and few manual functions, it is hard to see any reason to choose one of the smaller Canon models, given a budget of 500 Euro.The 2010 competition simply has more to offer.
