That's exactly right. A friend of mine picked one up and showed it to me a few days ago. It feels very plasticky and light. It's bulkier than I thought it would be too. Haven't heard back from him on image quality yet. The finder bothered me...you can MF it, but the viewfinder is an LCD...I couldn't really trust it enough to know if anything was in focus. I'm sure I'd just use AF with it. One nice thing it that it focuses *very* close... I was thinking of getting one as my walking around camera but I think I'm going to pass... tv
