優點:
Good colour 
Good automatic white balance under a variety of light 
Easy to use design, simple control setup 
Silent lens mechanism (no extension, focus or zoom noise) 
Good manual control (for an entry-level) - WB, ISO, exp compen., sharpness, metering 
Noise levels at all sensitivities are comparable to more expensive cameras 
Manual shutter speed selection for long exposures 
Fast auto focus 
Good internal flash performance 
Requires just two AA batteries, good battery life 
Offers fairly good value for money 
缺點:
Nasty mechanical power switch, loud \\\\\\\'CLUNK\\\\\\\' from lens cover 
Visible purple fringing (chromatic aberrations?) on overexposed details 
Poorly positioned CF eject lever 
Long lag times for LCD live view 
Poor CF write performance (>13 sec no matter what image type) 
LCD monitor can be difficult to use in bright sunlight 
All settings (flash mode, quality etc.) should be relayed on LCD monitor status line 
No thumbnail view (the 3 image filmstrip is inadequate) 
Noise reduction can lead to \\\\\\\'water-colour paint\\\\\\\' look, noise artifacts
