Advantages: face detection, quality of shots/videos in darkened situations

Disadvantages: zoom

I already have an Canon SLR and bought this camera to use for social nights out and also on occasions where i wouldn't really want to risk breaking/losing the SLR. This camera has been great for taking pictures in darkened pub environments where it will using its "face detection" feature to easily pick out all of the people you want in the frame by putting a square around them. The other bonus to this camera is the video; again in darkened pub surroundings this video will pick up good detail, so if uploading embarrassing videos of your friends onto youtube is of interest then this camera will perform this task very well! Battery life on this camera is also good at approx 600 shots. The one downside to this camera is that the zoom isn't particularly great, however i didnt buy this for taking landscape artsy pictures so for me it has been a great buy

Summary: good digital camera
