Buyer Reviews :
This camera takes excellent pictures and movies. When I was reviewing cameras to pick one to buy, I read that this camera was nearly perfect in design and manufacturing but had 'soft focus' and 'purple fringing' problems. I have seen no soft focus problem at all. As for purple fringing, it has appeared in only three of the 600 pictures I've taken so far. In those pictures, it was because the subject in the foreground was dark, the background was very bright, and I had the flash turned off. When I turned on the flash, there purple fringing disappeared. I highly recommend this camera!
