Memory Shortage?

No Aperture Priority
I have been so disappointed with this camera as it has no Aperture Priority. In order to prevent camera shake it tries to take all photos at a fast speed with the result that it keeps using f2.8 or f3.5 this greatly limiting the depth of field. I wish I had known this before I bought it. It is a pity because apart from this it is a great camera.

CHARGE!!!
I just want to see a camera that you can charge from a USB charger or laptop instead of having to carry the extra charger!

I love this!
I've had this camera for nearly a year now and it is by far the best compact camera I've ever owned. I don't tend to use the auto setting but it is very intuitive.
Dairs, if you can find a camera that comes with a memory card as standard (excluding 64mb ones) I'd be amazed!

Motherboard failure
I guess I was just unlucky but my mother board failed after 13 months. Worse than this Compudirect (the company I bought it from) have refused to reply to my letters asking them to repair or replace it under the 'Sale of Goods' act. I am having to take them to court in order to get satisfaction.
