Advantages: Small, compact, great picture quality

Disadvantages: ummm the size if you have giant hands?

This is the first digital camera i have purchased. Therefore it had to be right. I wanted a camera that looked the part and also took good pictures.

I took it on Safari to Kenya recently and the pictures that i got back were just wonderful and clear. When you take a picture that is blurry it will tell you immediately that it is blurred and do you want to delete it?

It is probably better for those with smaller hands (sorry not being sexist) as it is quite small and the screen is a great size for looking through. It is fairly lightweight and not loaded with a million buttons like some cameras on the market. The menu is easy to use and is pretty idiotproof. It fits in your handbag and its a really nifty little camera. Plus its made by Nikon, so its all good.

It comes with a handy cradle for sitting it in to charge and upload your photos onto the pc. It is also capable of taking video, which we tested on New Years Eve in Kenya. Not fantastic quality but then i guess that is what digital camcorders are for.

Summary: A dinky camera which proves that size doesn't matter!!
