Just bought the new Exilim V7 and I really think it's great! Excellent 7x zoom and very clear good looking photos, even the videos are very steady because of the anti-shake system and I just love it.
<br>
<br>Although I heard some comments and very negative reviews saying it takes very poor quality photos and that it's so bad they had to return it... I don't know.
<br>
<br>So far, it hasn't disappointed me and I had a Konica-Minolta and a Fujifilm before.
<br>
<br>The only annoying thing is you'd need the Cradle to recharge the battery, to view your photos on TV screen and if you have not got a memory card reader because the camera itself does NOT come with any of those USB, DC and AV output, so you will not be able to insert and connect the cables you need to do these things. Specially if you're travelling, it would be nice if I could just connect the AC adapter cable to the camera straight away rather than using the cradle. It looks great though.
<br>
<br>Ahh, one more thing, the sound or speaker is very poor and low. When recording videos, you bearly hear anything when viewing/playing it from the camera.
<br>
<br>All in all, I'd give it a "8 out of 10". I hope it'll last me as it's quite expensive too.
Pros: Good looks and very fast shutter speed.
Cons: No USB, no DC (electrical) and no AV output on camera itself
