Wife is more of the techie in the house, but loves the picture quality. I enjoy the fact you don't need another college degree to work it.

QuickTake:

Pros: Awesome picture quality, simplier manuverability.
Cons: Although still worth the money, price is in the top tier for the average person.

Cons: New user interface slow, convoluted and often confusing, Rear control wheel huge step backwards from the H5's 'turn and click' dial on the grip, Images quite soft and not that clean, Excessive noise reduction robs images of fine texture at anything over I
