I’ve been working with it for a couple of months now and really like the performance of it. The scroll-wheel performs well (no gimmicky “left and right” scrolling here) with a very faint but very satisfactory scrolling tactile feedback, and both buttons have good solid clicking mechanisms.. The color is nice too, and looks great next to my ABS keyboard, Logitech Z-5500 speaker control, and Smilodon case, all of which are blue-neon. The only thing I’d change would be to give it a bit more heft – it’s a nice solid feel, but I’d prefer a bit more mass.

The photo above was taken with our new Canon SX1IS, as was the photo of Rebecca’s first bass. Overall, I’m still struggling with the auto-focus on it, which doesn’t seem to function well at all, and also the graininess of the photos, even with flash. I’ll continue to work with it to see if there are any settings I can adjust, but I’m not impressed, and am afraid this camera might have to be relegated to occasional snap-shot use only. I definitely don’t want to have to use a tripod to take quality shots.
