Advantages: Huge lcd screen, very solid, great pictures

Disadvantages: none that I have found so far

I recently bought this camera for my partner as a birthday present, after dropping his Olympus on the floor and breaking it whilst drunk, Ooops!

I managed to get it half price in the Argos sale which was a brilliant bonus. The camera is fantastic. It is really solid and feels really good quality. The 3in lcd screen makes picture taking and viewing a lot easier. The camera is 8mp and after getting some pictures printed last week you can defintiely tell the difference compared to our old 4mp one.

It has tonnes of settings, some of which we are still getting to grips with! For the price I definitely think the camera is worth it, even at full price. I must admit I was a bit worried about buying a Hitachi camera instead of a Sony or another Olympus but it really is great. The shutter speed is quick and as soon as you press the button it takes the picture, unlike our old camera which waited a couple of seconds and really frustrated me! The camera has anti shake and red eye reduction, very handy features indeed.

I would definitely reccommend giving this camera a try over it's more expensive counterparts because to me it more than outruns them.

Summary: A brill little camera at a fraaction of the cost of some it measures up to
