Advantages: Swivel screen,high quality photographs,ease of use,very well made.

Disadvantages: Not quite pocket sized

I only sold this camera because my wife won a Canon S80 and I kept S80 because of wider lens view.Photographic quality is truly superb and anyone from child to uninformed adult could not possibly have problems taking excellent pictures with it.The swivel screen is a very useful tool to have and I truly do miss it.You can take real low level shots with it without being a contortionist as all you do is swing screen out and look straight down,ideal for an oldie like me.
Exposure is almost always spot on and will rarely let you down except in the most demanding situation.Is a solid,well made camera and should give years of service if treated properly.Plenty of adjustments in camera for when you feel more confident with it.For example,change colour tones from vivid to natural to sepia and b&w.Anyone looking for a very good camera that all the family can get to grips with and take superb pictures can`t do much better than to buy this.Also if you like macro photography then this has a sensational macro mode that will give you top quality close-ups of flowers,insect etc. in vivid and very sharp detail.

Summary: Build quality,photographic quality,ease of use,family friendly.
