I got the camers 3/15/13 and so far I am impressed. I am not a pro photographer but I do make software for a living. We make a product called iWatermark for Mac, Win, iPhone/iPad and Android so we quite a bit of experience with cameras. If you are interested our site is available with a search of Google (reviews don't allow links).
This is my initial review. To get it out of the way the highlights are 50x zoom, Raw as option, video up to 440 fps (at very small rez). I've tried them all. They work as advertised and they are awesome features for a camera this inexpensive.
Features
* 16 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. Photos look great.
50x optical zoom lens (35mm equiv: 24-1200mm). Simply awesome.
Great Optical image stabilisation
3 inch 920k dot tilting LCD screen. Love the tilting LCD very handy when shooting over peoples heads. Also for shooting at kid or pet level.
Hotshoe
920k dot electronic viewfinder (EVF)
Full 1080p HD video recording with stereo sound and at 60 fps.
ISO 100-12800
1cm minimum focusing distance
HDR & panorama modes
Full manual controls and RAW shooting
10 fps continuous shooting full rez or down to 480fps (240 x 180 pixels) or 240fps (320 x 240 pixels) or 120fps (640 x 480 pixels).
Many special effects.

I am still experimenting with the huge number of features in hardware and software of the camera and will report back when I get some time.
It is the most powerful, versatile and inexpensive camera I've ever owned and I would recommend it highly. I have tried all the other super zoom cameras and this is the winner for me.
PS To solve the squabble by two other reviewers the manual zoom is in the usual place by the shutter button on the right top and on the left side middle of the lens. It works well and smoothly with a bit of noise.
