I recieved this camera as a present to take to America, I as a teenager found it very easy to use, the buttons are clear and the functions are simple yet effective and this camera was perfect for taking pictures of the beautiful sights in New York. It was practical for both landscape shots and also more up-close ones, the zoom worked very well and did not blur the image, it focussed perfectly. The only negative I found with it was that the video camera setting was very hard to find. You didnt have a button to change it from one to the other, you have to look through the menu and find the video option, it was long winded and I didn't end up taking any videos because i couldn't be bothered to find the setting!
I would strongly recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a small, lightweight yet smart little camera to take on holiday with, or just to use as a general family camera. ****
