I would like to join the review "Licht und Schatten" It describes very well the advantages and disadvantages of the camera! It is imperative to deal with it and try different settings. I chose the W300 because the general trend of ever smaller pixel size with its larger CCD - Chip counteracts and despite the (way too big) number of pixels is an exception in the W-series and the largest pixel diameter offers. The limitation of the camera is of course at the Optk! I could compare the W300 directly to the W90! I like the W300 in the operation and the results better. The operation and menu navigation is very good - but you have to know what you're doing! I've gotten a lot of pleasure to the camera and would buy again!
