Advantages: Great zoom , easy to use in simple mode

Disadvantages: User manual too technical

After much internet surfing and comparison i purchase one of these from currys online for £229(couple of months ago now so prices have come down since)

My main aim was to use this for wildlife photos as well as the usual family snapshots.

The thing that drew me to this model was the 12x optical zoom and thanks to this i have taken some great bird pictures and even had a few published.

The camera operates fantastically on the simple mode it even automatically focuses on moving subjects but focus but the biggest problem for me is that this is a really high spec camera and i am only using about a tenth of the functions.

The main reason being i am not an expert photorapher (on the other hand i am not stupid either) but the manual may as well be written in a foriegn language!!

If you have quite a bit of expert knowledge already its probably really simple otherwise i would opt for a point and press type camera instead

Summary: Ok for pro's probably a waste for family snaps
