JP's answer (hablo Inglese y Aleman, pero no hablo Espanol, sorry):

Camera (my personal opinion):
 * Pro:
 * One of the newest cameras you can get
 * several usefull features: XL, Dissolve, ...
 * Contra:
 * Only 18fps
 * Problems with the Ektachrome E64T
 * Summary: Nothing special, but a nice lower-end workhorse
