Reviewer: Chris - UK
Picture quality of still imagse is amazing, moving images can blur and I dont like the lag between pictures (5-10seconds). The quality on the video recording however is VERY good.

It is a good camera for beginners, and great for stills - just be prepared to hold that grin a bit longer for this camera. :o)

Great size, it goes everywhere with me. Good price too.

When the box arrived I first thought that it was going to be another big camera and thought it was great when I realised how small it was and that it did still have a good range of features.

Pics are good quality and I love using the different photo frames. Scene modes are useful too.

Great value for money

I have a toddler and a baby, as well as a dog, and wanted something cheap and easy to carry around amongst all the usual paraphenalia that comes with little ones. This was a great find. My photos come out well no matter what the lighting is and I am nowhere near being a professional photographer. Will be very happy with this little camera for the time being.

Very easy to use but I am not always impressed by the quality of the end result. Some have come out fuzzy so, in my experience, this camera is more suitable for still image shots.

I have also found that it takes a while between shots which can be a disadvantage depending on what you are shooting.

Good value if you want to take basic shots.

My sister has a 5 megapixel camera and I have found that my pictures are just as good as hers. The size is great as it can either fit in my small purse or trouser pocket and this means it goes everywhere with me, night and day. Price was good and it is easy to use and it has enough features to keep me happy.
