Hi Tazzers,

I've spoken with the reviewer of the camera, Geoff Harris, Digital Camera's Acting Editor who had this to say:

Geoff Harris, Acting Editor, replies

“Yes, I confess, I didn’t test the camera at all and wrote everything from the press release, sitting in my office in Bath! That’s how I got the pictures of Thailand you can see in the review. Sorry I am being flippant. Yes, I spent two weeks with the camera and got to know it pretty well. I’ll check on the points you raise, and we’ll print a clarification if necessary. We have to write to tight deadlines and while we strive to check every single spec, errors sometimes slip through. I stand by everything I said in my review though – the points about the video focussing were gleaned while filming my niece’s christening in Kuala Lumpur, if that reassures you.”

Hope that helps,

Thanks,

Amy
