In Aug 2010, I had enough with the Kodak M1093 IS and started looking for a new camera. I still wanted a compact camera I could carry around daily, but I wanted a really good one. I read DPreview's roundup of Compact SuperZooms. But I was unsure about spending $200-300 on a new camera at this time. Then on Aug 22, 2010 Woot offered the camera for $139. I reread the review that DP had written (I bought the 30 model, not the 35 model with GPS and AMOLED screen) and decided to get this camera because I had been impressed with the review a few weeks ago. My friend had recommended a Canon S90, but because Woot was offering such a good deal I decided to get it. The 3 customer reviews on Amazon are quite poor, but I am going to trust Dpreview on this. The Kodak had fairly good customer reviews on Amazon, but I really hated it

Review
I really like this camera. It is kinda big, but it takes really good photos most of the time. It is especially good when it is dark out, and I can hold the camera real still. I don't like that the dial always rotates in my pocket. Also the flash setting resets itself in every mode except manual/"P"/program mode. But once I have turned the flash off, it seems that pictures always come out nice as long as I hold the camera still.
