I'm usually a digital SLR users, but I've been waiting for a camera like this to come out, so I have something to put in my pocket. The features that really made me decide to buy this camera was:
First AVCHD 1080i full-quality video. Check the bitrate - it is the same as camcorders. Better than flip or handheld "HD" bitrates
2nd Wide image stitching. I am amazed at the quality of these images. Dumbfounded. Check the ones I have sent.
3rd GPS tagging. Yep, been waiting for this since iPhoto introduced the feature in its software.
4th Performance in low light. For a point-and-shoot, you will not beat this. Sure, it's not a DSLR, but it's pretty amazing for the price.
5th prize-a zillion features and a completely reasonable price!
Mac compatibility:
I tried the camera with iMovie and it worked perfectly! I have imported 2-minute low-light AVCHD video recording for about 30 seconds from an SDHC Class 6 card. Also used the camera with iPhoto and Aperture, and everything worked fine.
Update: I've had time to play with different settings - you can see some of my results in the customer uploaded images. The panoramas today came out great! I'm still impressed by this function (Amazon's small pictures do not do it justice). Shooting inside the MOMA was excellent. Outside, I tried the HDR mode, with limited success (still need to experiment, but look what I got). The handheld twilight does what it should be, impressive.
