Title: Avoid this camera
Product review: I bought this camera to take on trips, and for some general photography. I was aware of the bulk, and decided the zoom was an acceptable trade-off. What I was not prepared for, however, was the insane time between pictures, 20+ seconds. I initially thought it might be the batteries, changed those. Then I thought the flash, so tried some outdoor photos, same problem. Then I tried a different SDHC card, I had the low-end Sandisk 4GB card that is rated as too slow for this camera. I upgraded to a fast Sandisk SDHC card, it's double the requirement listed in the camera manual. The camera still experiences 20+ seconds between taking one picture and being ready for the next. Unless you plan to take pictures of buildings exclusively, plan on missing many opportunities while you wait for this camera...
