Advantages: cheap for the general users

Disadvantages: screen quality display

This camera has a nice build to it,being fairly slim (mind you not super slim,otherwise there would be little quality) with a nice silver,clean finish.The large screen allows (2.5inch) a good view of what your going to capture,although the quality of viewing pictures on the screen is VERY poor,it squeezes the image and makes it look like the camera has some sort of capture problem,but by simply uploading it onto the computer with a larger screen,the quality stands out a lot better.
The quality of the photo's is perfect for general use,on holiday or where ever.
The camera comes with the option to record videos,but you have to speak quite loudly from a distance should you wish to capture the sound from a distance.It should be noted that if you wish to watch the recorded video on the camera,you can,but it does not allow sound to be played through the camera.
The camera allows zoom of 3x optical (best zoom) and then 7x digital zoom (not as good a quality),which produces satifactory results.
The camera comes supplied with,an EU plug adapter,UK plug and charger.It should be noted that this camera runs off it's own battery,not independent batteries.
