what a shame - the camera looks to have a cool retro look (at least from the front) but the sample pics on the european site are shocking! maybe it's the lens but for my money a 5MP pic should look a lot sharper than that.

There's nothing in the Specifications list that indicates tht you can alter the sharpening in-camera, so it's Photoshop all the way!
