Advantages: Funtions to capture scenes at night, children and pets, fireworks, etc.

Disadvantages: Lacks audio function, heavy.

I had this camera a few years ago and still own it now, yet it is only used when I don't want to break my other camera! Whilst it is a good, sturdy camera and takes brilliant photos, there are other functions which are not available, which would be useful: the main being that there is no sound or audio capture. This means that while it can shoot video, there is no sound on it, which is rather annoying. Also, the time it takes to take another photo straight after could be improved, sometimes it takes ages.

The only other flaw that I could see is that it is rather old fashioned and chunky now. It is quite heavy and there are many digital cameras on the market now that could be a quarter of this size.

Overall, it's a good camera and has served me well after being dropped countless times but it is not recommended for people who want a modern, multifunction camera.

Summary: A very sturdy camera, with great picture quality.
