Advantages: Excellent quality photos

Disadvantages: Stopped working after getting damp

I bought this camera 12 months ago for £100 on amazon. The price it is advertised at now is more than double that (£264.99). Therefore, my first recommendation is: WAIT FOR A SPECIAL OFFER! This is an amazing camera. We took it to New Zealand for a month's holiday and we've taken some of the most spectacular photos I've ever seen. For example, a perfect shot of a humpback whale breaching about 50 metres away, but because of the 10 x digital zoom, it has come out perfectly. There are numerous settings on the camera, including close up, night view, portrait and snow scene. There is also the option of taking video footage with sound. If you buy a good sized memory card, you can take thousands of photos and videos without running out of space. The anti- shake setting makes for awesome photos everytime, with no annoying blur. The camera is so simple, you can just use it as a point and press. To zoom in, it only takes one movement, and you don't use any quality. For a £100 camera, I would highly recommend this. However, I wouldn't recommend paying the current price for it, I'm sure that you can get a cheaper one if you wait for the right time, and if you've got £265 to spend on a camera, there are others out there now with higher MP and greater optical zoom. One more warning- devastatingly, I got this camera a tiny bit damp and it no longer works. I've been told it would cost £125 to mend. Well worth investing in a case or insurance to avoid this situation!

Summary: Brilliant camera, wait for a special offer and then look after it!
