With a 28-mm wide-angle lens, this 7.2-megapixel shooter captures a larger field of vision than most. Too bad the results aren't better: Colors were off the mark, and images were often noisy. Some scene modes border on the absurd. (Pet mode? WTF?) Still, with real-time histograms and a 16:9 wide-aspect sensor and LCD, it's a decent rig with some unusual bells and whistles.

WIRED
Copious panoramic features for land scapes and large group shots. Intuitive menus. Decent shutter lag (0.68 second with flash).
TIRED
Poorly placed control dial. Lowest picture quality in the group. Loud, sluggish autofocus. Image stabilization is inconsistent. Videos saved in annoying QuickTime format.
