Advantages: Shockproof, Waterproof is amazing! Zoom function good

Disadvantages: Cost; tap function dissapointing

This is an absolutely fantastic camera. I have recently bought this, and have nothing but good things to say about it.

The waterproof feature is great, and so useful if you are a little adventerous (or a little careless!) same goes for the shockproof feature. I haven't tested how shockproof it is so cannot confirm how robust it is but is feels very sturdy and many of my friends have told me theirs is almost indestructable.

The 10 megapixel camera is more than ample for everyone apart from the most meticulous photographer. The zoom is also very good, expecially considering it doesn't have a protruding lens.

Just as useful is the inteligence of the auto function. Invariably everyone gets tired of playing with all the scenery settings and just wants to take picture without the fuss. This setting takes really good photos without any of the hassle of selecting different functions. I know most cameras have this, but on this camera I have taken some truly stunning photo's with just 1 click!

The tap control is also a fun function to use, ultimately a little pointless(as there is no way to tap and take a picture), but still fun to play around with and probably would be useful if wearing thick gloves.

The video quality is also very good and videos underwater are amazing.

Overall, although a little pricey, this is a great camera and highly reccomended. If you are looking for a future proof camera that you need to able to handle a bit of rough 'n' tumble this is the camera to buy.

Summary: Great camera suitable for almost anyone! highly reccomended
