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 photos on moving vehicles the images come out clear and concise (I did try out the function when actively shaking it and the results were just as good).

The different functions on the camera can be quickly found and effective on the easy to use menus. The camera is easy to use for novices and professionals and gives high quality results.
