Competent compact camera - excellent picture quality
(4 out of 5) by Comical Engineer on Feb 9, 2009 (UK)This camera is capable of producing very good pictures in a variety of circumstances. The 4x optical zoom works well and is about average for this type of camera. There are several easily accessed shooting modes available on the selector dial and more available via the menu including a special "fireworks" mode!
The good points:
* Quite compact but chunky enough to get a good grip on
* Takes AA batteries (see later) so can get new ones almost anywhere
* About 150-200 photos out of a set of batteries
* Flash is reasonably powerful
* Reasonable video mode
* Excellent picture quality
* Takes cheap SD memory cards
* Has a normal viewfinder as well as the screen
* Easy just to leave it in auto where it will cope with most normal pictures
The bad points:
* Doesn't like NiCd rechargeable batteries - must use NiMH which is a nuisance
* Quite slow to recharge flash between shots
* Only 8MB memory card supplied hence you will need to buy an SD card (I recommend at least 1GB)
* The detailed user manual is only supplied on CD
Summary:
* I paid less than £60 for mine but it's a great buy at the £61 advertised
* Picture quality is excellent
* It's versatile and all the camera that many will need
* An excellent small camera
