... the prettiest! I loved the camera at first, there were lots of nice customisable options, nice filters (Red/Blue/Green/Sepia) etc, and a really nice landscape mode which worked seamlessly! I loved it until i began to notice its weight. It really weighs down your pocket, and compared to its brothers it really is a pig! I may be over emphasizing this, but i have a mini tripod, and it struggled to hold it at an angle. Its a shame it doesnt have an internal battery i guess, AA's are heavy things!...more
