Here's a pic I would not have been able to get without the zoom:

That's quite the vignetting ... hmmmm. Not what I would expect from Hasselblad optics.

Ya really think you're getting Hasselblad optics for $250 or $300?

It's Hasselblad in name only, nothing more than a marketing deal.

I would love to get a real camera attachment with a decent sensor size and quality optics

Really hoping that for next year. I have it, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Great as a vacation or outdoor camera. Not so great if you're into indoor pictures.

I've only had it for a day and taken a few shots with it which were comparison shots with the Z Force.

The Z Force did a much better job with light and color from a distance, while the HB not surprisingly has more detail with the wall close up.

The first shots are the Z Force. The distance shot has better color and contrast with the Force, but the HB isn't awful. In the second set, the HB's zoom capabilities allow one to read the sign, unlike the Force shot.

The first photos in the series are from the HB, which again has a significant advantage in zoom situations.

So, how dedicated is the dedicated shutter button? For action shots is it very responsive or so so?

I haven't taken any action shots. I've heard it described as "mushy" and I can see that.

I will probably get the Hasselblad. The zoom will be a great plus.

Zoom is great. Flash is great. Captures regular shots better without blur compared to regular z play. Usually with kids running it blurs woth regular camera but not this one. However, it is a battery hog. While taking a lot of shots zooming in and out, i estimate it used up around 10% battery in 15 minutes

After seeing the youtube reviews by many, I'm a bit hesitant on pulling the trigger on this one.
Has there been software improvements since it came out to account for any issues?

Edit: But, I can snag it for about $115 due to gift cards.
For the people that have it, is it worth it for that amount?
Would it be a definite buy at that price point

If you'll use it primarily for its zoom capabilities, I would say yes.
