Very good camera for the price. Yes, it's difficult to work with, and to get the best photos out of it (which are just amazing) you need the right conditions. The camera is larger than IS0 200, the lack of an optical viewfinder takes some getting used to, the battery life is abysmal. But the images that come out of this camera rival those of significantly more expensive cameras. This camera makes sense (more so than the other two Merrill DP models) because you need high megapixels for landscape photography more than any other type of photography. I've attached some photos to show the color reproduction, sharpness and dynamic range of the camera. The photos have been slightly edited (mainly to compensate for the exposure).
