Personally, I think this would be a great camera for snapshots wich is what it is intended for. I think the reviewer has too high of expectations for a subcompact camera and is a bit too critical of it's performance. I mean really, where are you going to find a camera that small with all those features. I for one don't mind sacrificing a little image quality for the convenience of being able to carry a high zoom camera in my shirt pocket. Try doing that with a dslr and a long lens. As far as noise is concerned, I don't see using this camera for more than snapshots (unless you get in a crunch and have no other camera). You're not going to notice much noise at 4x6 or 5x7. If you have to print bigger prints, there's always noise ninja. Overall, I think the reviewer was expecting dslr performance out of a subcompact camera. That's just not going to happen for a while and I mean all around - not just image quality. I think what Casio has come up with is pretty impressive.
