Advantages: Easy to use, great pictures in all situations.

Disadvantages: Not enough settings if you want to be a photographer.

I brought this camera just so I could have a camera and it was a cheap. It turned out to be the best camera I own even when I decided to upgrade this camera still came out on top.

It is simple to use, to turn it on just open the slider and the flash and lense pop out and its ready to take pictures really quickly.

There are 6 buttons on the back, you press one to bring up the menu then use four for up, down, left and right and then the menu button again once you've selected what you want to change or do. The other button on the back turns on and off the LCD screen which despite it small size is still very clear both in viewing and taking photos. Of course there's a button for taking the pictures and zooming on the top but they are on the right hand side which could be annoying if your left handed but I'm not so I'm not sure.

It has a USB interface and AV interface hidden behind a rubber flap so no light water (rain) could damage the camera. My one did come with leads to plug into the computer and TV but I had to buy the memory card separately and they are hard to get now as SD's seem to be the most popular and widely used. Some printers don't even have a slot for the card.

Great for just taking photos for holiday or eBay but not for photographers. It is only 2.0 mega pixels but the pictures are still just as good as any other.

Summary: Such a great camera with great pictures and easy enough for a young child to use.
