One note: the zeikos professional wrist grip strap for digital and film slr cameras does not work well with this camera.

Fast burst rate, high-quality display, raw files render well in lightroom.
Packaging/appearance
The sony sdhc 32gb card was in sony's original packaging and this was my favorite accessory that was included.
After receiving the camera the next day i opened it and the sony box was sealed, all the accessories were in their original packaging.
Competitiveness
I looked into others such as the canon gx1, canon gx15 and nikon coolpix p7700.
This is not a light wieght camera but still carries well and easily fit into a packet.
The nikon was the only serious competitor but it's low megapixel rating kept me away.
Worth every penny, blows its competition away.
