 ... pretend to be a sophisticated device, and it certainly isn't that. It's very easy to use, therefore, but you do have to be aware of its technical limitations. The results I got with it (via Boots, who are usually quite reliable) were frankly pretty poor as a rule, and not up to the standard of what I'd expect with even a budget digital camera today.
