Advantages: Cost, Optics, Weight, Unlimited video recording

Disadvantages: Battery life monitoring - noisy images

Although seeming overwhelmingly bulky, the camera is lightweight and there its mechanics are simple enough that you do not need worry about mishandling it.

It boasts a number of features which seem rather useless to me - colour filters, digital zoom, internal ram and an interpolated increase in resolution, but what seemed most important to me is the quality of the optics.

I admit that during a concert, a dark room with rapidly changing lights, I found it difficult to take photos, but after tinkering with the ISO and white balance it became quite a good tool. The casing should be made of metal - i found a lot of noise in the photos as well.

Be careful with the battery life indicator : the batteries died and the camera did not auto shut off. Instead the screen became covered with lines and the lens did not retract.

Summary: Wide view camera
