Summary: I see this "flagship" camera receives many stars by reviewers who have not used it outside of tech shows. I've yet to see anyone review this camera after using it, so I'm happy to do so. The wi-fi functionality is terrible. Save your password and static IP data, connect to your LAN. Next time you want to connect, you have to enter all the information again. Maddening. You only have the ability to upload to facebook, picasa and email. The manuals and reviews talk about "social networks"—very misleading. You cannot add anything additional. Very poor feature set. Good luck if you buy this camera. This flagship should be decommissioned before its maiden voyage.
