Advantages: Amazing quality pictures

Disadvantages: Price

I bought this camera early last year after hearing rave reviews from a friend who had the same model. I took the camera out of its box and was surprised at how big it was, I thought it was going to be much smaller, this however is irrelevant compared the sheer quality of the camera...after taking some test pictures I uploaded them to my computer and was amazed at the quality of the pictures I had taken, they really looked professional and I was very pleased with them.

The camera has a large LCD screen on the back which actually has a hinge on it that allows you to move the screen so its facing you if you wanted to take a picture of yourself, and also flip the screen so that the LCD isn't showing when your not using it. This is a great feature that I haven't seen on many other cameras before.

The camera uses SD Cards and comes with a basic memory card of 32MB so i would definitely recommend getting a bigger one to really make use of its features.

The camera is really easy to use, if you're not familiar with all the different settings e.g. shutter speeds etc. then there is an AUTO button which automatically finds the best setting for you.

Overall I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a great quality camera and don't be put off by the price as you really do get what you pay for.

Summary: Everything you need in a camera!
