This camera is a great buy for the type of person that doesn't take photography too seriously. It takes good definition photos but at a sensible cost. The zoom isn't the strongest out there for this price range but personally I found it to be ample. The software that accompanied the camera for my computer was also not very good. It wouldn't run correctly on my vista platform so instead I dragged files from the camera onto my computer manually. In my opinion this camera is a great holiday camera as it provides the quality of photo needed and is much better than the quality of the average mobile but it is still small enough to not get in the way of enjoying a holiday and is instead handy and useful. In conclusion it is great for the amount paid. It also looks stylish as it comes in a range of colours for you to choose from which can make your camera a bit more fun and stand out from the metallic silver crowd. Features of the camera are also dead easy to use and the response of the camera is quick.
