After having my last digital camera broken and my holiday coming up soon i decided to research the internet to see what was the best value camera available. I decided to purchase this little camera and i am so glad i did! Its small and sleek, stylish, practical and has produces great quality pictures. When i first received the camera i expected to charge it for a few hours but to my surprise it was already fully charged and ready to use, which is a nice touch as everyone knows when you receive something quite like this you cant wait to get going and trying it out :) the camera was available in a variety of colours but i decided to go with the black, which is a lovely matte finish. there is a variety of setting to choose from and it is very easy to adjust. It takes great pictures both indoors and outdoors, i took pictures in Spain and the views came out just as beautiful in the pictures as they where in real life. i must say though that the best feature of all is the extremely long battery life, i take a lot of pictures on nights out and it can be several nights out with it before i even have to plug it in!
