Yes, looks like an outstanding value. The reviews posted by owners of the camera on the dpreview.com site were mostly positive - I did see ONE kind of negative one out of the 12 or so I looked at - it happened to be the FIRST one I looked at though. The others were very complimentary about the camera. 4X Optical zoom is nice too.
