Nice well built camara,Battery can be charged on your computer,takes nice cleaser photos and is light to carry around
Bad Points
No instruction book apart from page 1 to 7 which tell you nothing the rest is foreign.writing on 7 pages is so small can now read it plus it only tells you how to set the camra up not how to use it. which is a shame as if I know how to use it I would have not wasted my money.

Good Points
I am not a camera expert at all but I found the instruction manual easy to understand and the camera is very user friendly. I have not commented on image quality as I have not used the camera enough yet.
Bad Points
I fear that the battery runs out quite quickly, I am considering buying a spare one.

Good Points
Nice sharp images for such a small camera, even at full zoom. Easy to use and allows more control than many point & click cameras
Bad Points
Zooms in and out a little too fast to be able to frame picture easily.
