Best Digital Cameras - 0 to 2 Frames Frames Per Second, Atleast 500 images, 8 to 25 x Optical Zoom

'Too many pixels for too small a sensor. '

'low quality LCD'

'Performance was quite slow with slow focusing, particularly at the telephoto end, and the switch on time was noticeably slow at 4.1 seconds.'

'merely OK photos and shooting performance'

'Small traces of chromatic aberrations (aka CA or purple fringing) were present in most of our outdoor samples.'

'when the light's not so good, capture lag jumps to an unacceptably high 2.2 seconds; typical shot-to-shot time is a seriously sluggish 3.3 seconds, which jumps to a snailish 4 seconds with flash.'

'The placement of this jack on the bottom of the camera is unfortunate because users will have to rest the S700 on its front or back in order to plug it into a television, printer, or computer.'

'Unlike most ultra zooms, the S700 is hardly expandable at all.'

'awkward electronic viewfinder'

'lack of sharp focus.'

'manually enabled popup flash is fairly weak - maximum flash range (in auto ISO mode) is just short of 15 feet; not very impressive for a camera with a 10X zoom.'

'Low light focusing performance was poor'

'regardless of whether the Z10 was badly bullied as a prototype, there's no excuse for a grown-up camera carrying a design joke this far.'

'Low light focusing performance was poor -- guess that Rapid AF sensor isn't so hot for those conditions.'
