Testing light and focus

My new compact seems to be getting a lot of criticism
on various online photographic review forum threads
for its focusing performance.
Today I took this shot in a moving car of a scarf thrown
across my knees. The light was not great, the ISO was fairly
high, there is some blue fringing, but I can't fault the
focus or the detail.

Nikon Coolpix P7000

These days everyone expects DSLR performance from the camera in their phones, and if they don't get it they complain. This one's not bad considering; it's quite sharp given that it was taken in a moving object though the ultra-fast TV would doubtless have helped with that.

looks great from here!

one thing I've learned about those "online photographic review forums" is that the people posting there are never satisfied. :)

From where comes the criticism? Looks good to me - wonderful pink scarf.
