Advantages: High quality pictures, HD film mode (and many more)

Disadvantages: It's a Kodak (which in this case is not a problem)

I only bought this camera because I had saved up loads and loads on Nectar points over a couple of years and it was on sale in Argos (reduced from £299.99 to £109.99). I wouldn't naturally buy a Kodak camera because of the 'name' that it's given by all the big camera shops and snobby people who own 'SLRs' and other such several hundred pound cameras.

However to my delight this camera is excellent. It's 12MP, so all pictures that are taken well are of an absolutely stunning quality. The video camera it has is HD and truly takes excellent videos. I wouldn't normally rate a camera for its video capabilities, but this one is ace. The zoom is awesome (better than my mum's SLR) and the digital zoom is good as well.

I also really like the look of the camera. It's a lovely black and silver combination, making it cool, but it's also quite small.

I would have no doubt in thoroughly recommending this camera to anyone looking for a new one, whatsmore, it also has a great range of exciting modes, some of which are:

- Anti-Shake Mode - If you're not good at keeping still

- Night Mode - This one is excellent, one of the best I've tried

- Action Mode - Very good at catching moving objects (will take a good non-blurry picture of a car doing 70mph)

And many many more!!

Thanks for reading

Summary: An excellent quality, small digital camera. Great value and great pictures.
