Advantages: Nice simple point and shot, with lots of customisable options.

Disadvantages: Weighs a ton in comparison with it's brothers.

I bought this camera not long ago in an Index sale. The camera was reasonably priced for its features and in it's class i thought it was one of 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!

Summary: Good for its class, but it's upgrades are much dinkier with the same options!
