lucky to get it for that price, and dont get the card from a high street store, they are much cheaper online (Here for example), i got the high speed 512MB one from here, and i have no problems. Nice and quick.

This camera has an amazing marco mode (1cm), but the only downpoint is that you have to diffuse the flash to reach in front of the lens, otherwise you get over half the image in darkness.
 
the negatives are:
focus has seven or so steps, i.e. theres not a huge amount of fine control
gets the shakes on certain settings too easily
lens can get in the way of flash on macro shots

however overall its a very very good camera, see the dpreview.

for me, i chose it because it has the point and click, but i can if i want, purcahse additional lenses and it has almost all the manual overrides you need if you want to be more professional.

i was choosing between this and the casio eXLIm, i chose this because of the ability to become more professional, without spending the money on an dSLR before knowing i will do justice to the DSLR.

I knew the issues before i purchased, and i am happy to say i am very pleased with the results - see the pics i took in my own thread on the A620 :)

any other questions, let me know :)
