I got the camera for christmas its fantastic. Its easy to use with simple settings wich are vey effective. The flash is good when needed but i peffer to not use it the pciture quality outcome is far better. The camera has face regonistion which is great but i still dont see the point of it. The genral quality of the picture is amazing i used for selling items on ebay and no problems with the pictures. when loading pictures to the computer its easy, you dont need the instructions its that easy. The camera size is about right because its just the right size making it robust. I have dropped the camera a few times no damage what so ever. The zoom is okay but not amzing, but what made me happy was wheni wanted to zoom in i could do it afler the picture was taken this is by far the best feature. In general the camera is fantastic value for money but nothing out of this world but you can get them for under £50 on ebay so its a bargin.Thanks Adam
