Small camera and therefore easy to take anywhere with you. My pictures have been great so far, close up or long distance.
The only thing I had to get used to was the double push when taking pictures, one to focus, two to take.
Would certainly recommend as a first digital camera

Have found some downsides to this one but overall I think it is a good little camera for everyday use.
Movies are without sound, rechargeable batteries should be included as battery life is not brilliant, would like a larger LCD say 2".
Macro mode is excellent.
