A fantastic compact camera, I have had 3 digital cameras previuosly but have broke most of them due to dropping them on the floor and on damp surfaces. However mine has now survived for 8 months now even after excessive useage of at least two or three times a week (taking approx 300 pictures per week) . I invested in it after it was recomenned as it doesn't have a bit that extends like some other cameras do.
It's easy to use, easy and very quick to turn on and off as you only have to slide the front. Its simple to use, and easy to turn the flash on and off. It is also easy to turn the video recorder function on and off, however there is no flash for video footage so the area need to be reasonably light for good quialty.
The charger is light and great for taking on holiday, and there is a light which comes on so you always know when it is charging.
