- Nice colour reproduction (European style colour tone but it is not as saturated as the Lumix/(DC Leica) style)
- Good price (around HK$1,700) for a "hong" good
- Schneider lens with Kodak CCD. You won't get Kodak CCD in a Samsung Schneider lens DC but it will cost a lot more
- Excellent and accurate auto white balance, best in the class. Better than many recent DSLRs!! (including Canon 400D/450D, Pentax K20D, Lumix G2). At par with Canon 550D
- Best in the class, control and interface
- Good body design, easy to hold, not too small (as you will need a good size/weight for taking tele (250 - 350mm) shots
- Built-in flash without pop-up (don't understand why Canon's use a pop-up flash)
- A full 3" LCD (not a 16:9 3" LCD that it will crop images if shooting in 4:3 mode)
- Control dial can switch to "P", "Av", "M", "Movie", "Auto" easily (unlike the Samsung DC that combines "PSM" modes to one mode. Not even the lastest Sony NEX has such dial)
- Has base ISO at 64, a very low noise option (don't understand why some DC produces noise at base level ISO)
