Advantages: Huge amounts of features, great picture quality and excellent value for money.

Disadvantages: It uses 4 AA batteries, so worth getting some rechargables.

This camera has an excellent zooming lens, with an optical zoom of 10.7 x. I was initially attracted to this camera with its style, looking just like a really top-end sigital SLR. I have used this camera on many trips now and it has never failed me. The picture quality from this 6mp camera is outstanding and never fails to deliver.

To many people this camera would be quite tricky to use because there is literally hundreds of available features that can be utilised. So I would not recommend it for the avergae camera user, it does come with a useful manual on how to use it to its full potential. The fact that you have to adjust the lens manually as apposed to electronically helps to preserve batetry and helps you to get a better feel for your photo's.

The camera uses the XD memory card's which I was initially quite sceptical over. However I soon relised that the price of the cards is really quite cheap and it has workeed really well for me. The battery life is very good however, it does use four batteries a piece and so I would recommend buying rechargeable batteries to save you money in the long run. It does have an AC/DC adapter so that you can plug it into the mains.

The flash is exceptional and I just cannot tell you how good the performance of this camera is, you must try it to believe it. All of the photo's that I have taken with this camera have been excellent, it is an ideal companion for travellers or if you are going on a holiday of some sort. Yes it is quite heavy but I think the advantages outweight this. Overall I think that this is an outstanding camera that represents excellent value for money and would highly recommend. I hope this was useful and thank you for reading. You should definately try it to see it for yourself. You can get it from various shops now for just £145!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: An excellent camera and 100% brilliance! Well worth the money!
