Advantages: compact, great lens, big viewing screen,easy to use, good battery life

Disadvantages: occasional background noise in pictures

Slim, sleak design. This camera is very well built with good features including very nice zoom lens. Other positives include large clear bright screen,easy to use interface and a solid feel, everything from the flap that covers the sockets to the zoom control button. In terms of picture quality it's very good. The auto focus is one of the best I've used. It also has a sturdy shot feature/image stabliser which makes it even easier to take good photos. A problem I found in other cameras is using the display i sunlight, this isn't as much of a problem with this camera. It has a feature for improving the display when you're holding the camera up high, enabling you to still see the display. The anti-red eye feature works well. The battery life is very good, although it's too new to say exactly how long this is.Negatives of the camera include on some shots the image quality can be a little bit noisy, however this is because of the size of the camera - a disadvantage of nearly all compact digital camera. The majority of the time this doesn't occur. A very impressive, well built, high spec camera.

Summary: a good all round camera
