Is this really worthy of a place on the front page? Sounds like an ad to me... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.100.53.62 (talk) 08:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Why is this camera is notable? Is Wikipedia in the business of cataloguing every product variation produced by every company? --Doradus 14:45, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It really does read suspiciously like an advert. Jasonisme 14:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still reads like an ad

I restored the Advert tag because the article still reads like an ad, despite minor tweaks by TonyTheTiger. The whole tone of the article needs to be adjusted. Some examples (not exhaustive) of sentences which make it read like an ad: "its combination of features made it an exceptional ultra zoom", "It is designed to improve upon hybrid offerings by competitors", "a combination of features that was a fairly revolutionary", "few offer advanced levels of both such as ultra zoom and HDTV"... etc. --R27182818 (talk) 16:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
