General

I bought this camera in the summer (07) especially for my holidays in egypt and i was more than satisfied with the performance of the camera. The quality is very good especially for normal users (i.e. family); professionals might have a different opinion; Not only the size but also the user friendly interface are clear benefits of this camera.

Quality

I took pictures in the sunniest conditions and in bad weather conditions. Both conditions do not really have a influence of the camera as it still delivers great quality. The only problem I had was taking picture in the night which is a problem with almost every camera. I always used the pre-set options, but after trying our some manual setting I realised that the camera has got even more potential. Give it a try - experiment at the beginning a bit and soon you will know which setting to use when.

Design

It is just great! The camera is about small enough to fit in a pocket and the silver/metallic looks really elegant.

Fazit

Great value for money! If you want to enjoy this camera I advise you to buy a large SD card as you will need it; if you choose the highest resolution the pictures will be arounf 5MB big but nevertheless around 1000 and more fit on my 2Gb SD card.
I would recommend it!

Summary: I am impressed and satisfied with this camera
