Advantages: Waterproof, good picture quality

Disadvantages: Larger than some current models

Although I still technically have this camera, it no longer works after I used it in water after a big fall. Before that point, I alsolutely loved this camera, as it had fantastic features and brilliant picture quality. The best bit was the waterproof-ness - on holiday, it took perfect, clear pictures of my partner scuba diving, fish, sea anenmoes etc. Even just stuck in a rock pool and pointed in the right direction it gives good pictures! The features are fantastic too, the menu options for close up, landscape, fireworks, snow etc help give really good picture quality. I was also able to take good close up photos of my jewellery, including stones, although oddly the photos came up better on the computer/when processed then they appeared on screen, which meant I took a lot more photos than I actually needed as I had thought they weren't turning out. I did find that the camera sometimes produced images with an orange haze when not taken with a flash. Compared to some other modern cameras this model is weightier and larger, but it WAS pretty hardy until I dropped it, and gave very good pictures.

Summary: Very good, I loved it.... just wish it had survived a fall and a rockpool!
