We used this camera intensively during two weeks in the US and were very pleased with it. With 14 megapixels and a 16x zoom that remains at good definition at extreme ranges there are a few more options that improved our opinion of the camera. Different shooting modes are accessed using the dial at the top. As I'm no expert photographer I relied on the 'SCN' setting which allows you to choose various different presets such as 'candlelight' 'moving target', 'landscape' and 'portrait'. This automatically alters the shutter speed, exposure and flash to suit to the conditions of the description of the setting. Using the 'moving target' setting allowed me to take ...  Read the complete review

For the size of this camera the results are similar to SLR cameras, but with a more practical size. The camera is easily portable, I have had it since Christmas, have used it at least every few days and there has been no visible wear and tear yet, despite the large screen (liable to scratches, but none have occurred yet). The screen has a high resolution and a clear picture to display photos immediately. The battery has a long life, needing recharging rarely, and quick to recharge too. The quality of printed photos and photos on screen is high. The zoom is also very useful, the anti-shake function means that even when taking highly zoomed in ...  Read the complete review

I had this Camera bought for me as a birthday present at the end of last year and at the time believe it cost about £100, which is not bad what it is. The best main features of it are the design, its small enough to carry around places and quite light and the zoom is also a really good, no blur. I took a photo of a sunset far away with the landscape setting and it looked amazing with the full Zoom on. I also really like the soft skin setting it has for taking portrait photos, gives a nice glow to faces. It didn't come with a protector case, but i soon found a cheap one from asda that was the right size for only £5 I cant really think of any disadvantages ...  Read the complete review

This is an absolutely brilliant camera for a compact! I've had mine for over a year now and its been really useful. The shutter speed is really good, provided there is enough lighting. The wide angle is pretty much more than enough. More often than not, I've had to rely on the zoom to make the subject bigger or at least fill enough of the screen! The buttons are all very conveniently placed and its such a light camera. With the colour modes, I suggest using the 'vivid' option, since the 'normal' option tends to look a bit muted. You can use memory cards up to 32GB, not that you'll need it, but it might be handy if you're on a very long holiday with no access to storage. .  Read the complete review
