"The higher light sensitivty made possible by the on-chip micro lenses has dramatically improved the picture quality."
digitalcamerastop.com | talking about the camera's image-quality
"Very clean and crisp photo quality with a few minor hiccups here and there, but given that it is just about anything proof and comes with GPS, it’s not too shabby of a camera."

Very disappointing ! I expect to make 60 fps clear crystal HD movies superior to my kodak  playsports, but it gives me only a blur and noise HD movie. Forget about it.
