Advantages: Attractive pictures, low price

Disadvantages: Paintwork slightly peeling

Out of the several digital cameras I own, I must commend this one for not only the quality of the pictures taken but also of the general attractiveness of the pictures taken. With other cameras with higher mega pixels, their pictures are with clarity but do not always show things in their best light. This camera does remarkably well regarding this, taking clarified pictured for its 14mp, and making things look generally more agreeable.

I find that this is brilliant for portrait photos and wildlife shots; also it is great for capturing scenery, with hardly any blur within its pictures. There are a variety of settings available which I find very agreeable, and its shutter speed is relatively fast. The display image is also very clear.

This camera is also very stylishly designed; relatively sleek and pocket sized. It is very handy to carry around, switches quickly on to capture moments in your life that you do not want to forget.

However, there is a small fault in this; though by no means affecting its technical capabilities. I have owned this camera for less than a year, and the paintwork on the metal (I unfortunately chose the colour red so this was all the more noticeble) has slightly peeled off around the edges; I am disappointed in this for the technical facilities of this camera are very agreeable. This problem could probably be fixed by a more protective case and better handling, so I would still highly recommend this camera!

A great camera for beginners and those who are fairly experienced in photography, and at a low price too! This has helped me capture aspects of every day life so well that I would recommend anyone to try this out.

Summary: Brilliant camera overall! 5 stars!
