I like it so far. The previous Kodak was wonderful - simple, great pictures. This one seems to be similar, and faster, which is nice. It has far too many onboard processing bells and whistles -- on-the-fly stitching of panoramic shots, cropping, etc, and it has no viewfinder, only the LCD -- but it's pretty neat all in all.
The lack of a viewfinder seems to be a growing trend among digital cameras. As a photography fanatic (of sorts) I'm not a fan of the trend at all. I like to have a choice. A viewfinder comes in handy when I need to turn off the LCD screen to save battery power AND when the sun is so bright I can't see my screen (this one happens more often for me than the low battery - grrr).
I'm totally with you on the "Christmas in October" thing. Last year it was the TV, this year the iMac.
"Kids, I'm sorry daddy blew the Christmas money on a new iMac. But look, instead of a Christmas tree and presents, there's a lovely picture of a tree on Daddy's new iMac. And every day, I'll add a new digital representation of a present you're not getting any more. Sound good?"
