Very worth its cost.

It has a 10.5 M 16 x 9 setting I really like 'cause
pictures taken can be displayed on my HD monitor
from the get go without altering them.

Since I have a 1920 x 1080 HD camcorder I'm not concerned
with the camera movie mode but to anyone reading this I
would say it takes decent movies but no zooming once you
start.
But anyone looking for a great, lightweight and feature-rich camera likely won't be disappointed as long as he/she keeps in mind that this is a true point & shoot camera for people who want to take good pictures without having to take a photography class first.

Last but not Least:
When looking for a camera case for the FH20, I compared a lot of measurements for different cases to make sure it would fit the FH20.
Beats shlepping my heavy and bulky Canon Powershot SX10IS with me...
- The auto-focus is fast and accurate.
I personally do not think of this as a negative simply because this camera is not geared to that type of photographer, but I know that some people like to have that option so I am including this in my list because of that only.
- I found that image noise is very dependent on the zoom setting, even at lower ISO settings such as ISO80 or ISO100.
While the camera shoots spectacularly well at short focal lengths and low ISO settings, it does not so well at long focal lengths.
After my Canon SD1100 broke in March, I researched for several weeks for a new camera.
Although it is light, it also feels sturdy and at first I was weary of the purple color, but it is not too flashy or obnoxious.

I am just a hobby photographer and own a Nikon D50, but always have a pocket camera on me...and so far the FH20 has performed very well.
