I reviewed the DC260 for a UK publication and gave it the worst review I've ever written about anything. A colleague writing independently for another magazine did the same. It's *dreadful*! 15 seconds from pressing the on button to being able to take a photograph. *Neither* viewfinder offers accurate framing (an astonishing achievement that, considering one is an LCD). The lens distorts *horribly*, is as soft as old boots, and the AF is unreliable. I could go on, but I'd wind up posting the entire review. Quite simply the worst photographic product I have ever used. David Morton | "Times are bad.
