I bought this camera a few weeeks ago and i am very pleased with it. The "best shot" feature has some very common scenes, such as sports, potrait, portrait with backgroud, which really make the best out of the camera. The camera can struggle sometimes in low light, however if you use best shot than this can easily be overcome. Overall, i am very pleased with this camera, the reason i bought it was it was very compact, being not much bigger than a credit card (length x width) and it certainly is very slim. A last piece of advice though, a seperate memory card will obviously be needed, as the camera itself can only hold 3 images set on the 8mp mode. I bought a 2Gb sandisk one from amazon for about 6 pounds, and that can hold hundreds.
