Summary: Rollei Prego Cameras
Review: I do not own this model, but I do own the Rollei Prego 90 and the Rollei Prego 145. I also own Nikons. I have found the Rollei Prego series point-and-shoot cameras to be the best in every way of any I have ever used: razor sharp focusing, consistent exposures, loaded with very useful features that all work, very reliable, and very user-friendly...clearly my favorite.

Summary: A clarification
Review: I needed to clarify something I said in my previous review. I mentioned that the "spot focus" feature was very useful. I meant to say that the "focus lock" feature was very useful. This is a great thing to have and probably most small point and shoot cameras lack it. This feature allows you to focus on your main subject in the center of the viewfinder, and then to lock the focus and to move off-center to include another part of the scene in the composition. Since most point and shoots focus on whatever is in the center of the viewfinder, this is a nice capability to have for certain situations. Again, whether you have a Prego 90 or 125, they are great little cameras and probably the best out there. I recently visited a large store here where they had over two dozen different point and shoots on display to research the current offerings for a friend who wants to buy a compact camera, and I think the Rollei is still my first choice. Two other new offerings that are very interesting are the new Nikon 125 35mm point and shoot, which offers a Panoramic mode similar to APS cameras, and the Minolta Freedom Zoom 125. Both incorporate aspherical lens elements where are reputed to produce a very sharp lens. If you're not sure about the Rollei you should check these out two.
