Cons

Basic continuous shooting at full resolution, Modest 230k resolution screen, Minimal control over image quality - little if any tweaking, Record / play switch less intuitive than a plain play button.
"Intelligent zoom" is just another name for digital zoom, Continuous shooting not as quick as the competition, Screen appeared overly bright at times, Noise noticeable in shots, higher than expected
