Advantages: Great image quality, Great value for money, Stylish design

Disadvantages: Fiddly playback button

I bought this camera about six months ago and am really pleased with it. The image quality is amazing compared to other digital cameras I've used in the same price range. It has all the features an amateur user would want, I think: you can view back the pics you've taken, either one at a time or tiled on the view screen; you can turn them sepia or b&w; and there's an easy to use zoom. It's a small, lightweight and stylish looking camera. Best of all, it has a remote control, which I've found very useful for taking photos of myself modelling clothes to sell on ebay!
There are two drawbacks to the design, though. To open the flap to plug it into the computer, you have to press the catch down with the point of a matchstick or pen or something, which is fiddly. And secondly, to view back the pictures you've taken, you have to double-click a very small button, which I find difficult: I have to use my fingernail rather than fingertip to press it down, and often can't do the two clicks fast enough. It really does get quite annoying.
