Advantages: Great for beginners

Disadvantages: Not a billion features

Ahh, I remember this wee thing. I got one of these from Tesco a few years ago for about £120, brand new. Obviously it will be a lot cheaper now, but it had only been out for a few months at the time. Ok, so it isnt that old, but I havent used it in a wee while.

If I remember correctly it was my first camera, and one of the reasons I got into Macro photography. It's quite a good wee thing, great size, easy to carry around with you. It doesnt take ages to turn on (unlike some) so you can use this to get a good photo in seconds.

It comes in a range of different colours, mine was pink, so it's a great camera to accessorize with! Not a bad choice for your first camera, for example if you want to buy it as a gift for a kid. I dropped mine a few times and never had any problems with it. It has a fair few features, not as many as you would find on a more expensive hi-tech camera but it's relatively easy to use and takes a good shot.

I gave mine to my mum when I got my DSLR, and she thinks it's brilliant. She isnt very technology literate, but she still finds it easy to use. It's a good camera to use if you are a beginner and want to learn more about photography. Hence why I think it'd be a good gift for a child (of around 12+).

It's easy to get your pictures onto a PC, as it comes with a USB as well as a memory card slot. I think it comes with some software too, but you dont have to use that. That stuff just takes up space.

Summary: A great wee thing
