Advantages: Solid build

Disadvantages: Unusual stero jack socket

I have had this camera for about 2 years now. I bought it becuase I was going on a foreign trip and wanted something relaibale that I could charge from a usb port - which this does. On my second day in beijing I dropped it form about 4 feet on to concrete. The metal case dented slighlty, but the camera was still in great working order.
Even in fairly remote parts of the world you can find internet cafes with USB ports for charging, so that's really handy.
It can play mp3 and has stereo speakers built in, but they're useless. The streo jack is a smaller than usual 2.5 mm, so you need special earphones or an adapter, but the sound is Ok.
It takes pictures with no hassle - very point and click; as well as allowing you to adjust the effective ISO number etc. It has an anti-shake mode which I don't really understand) and the usual flash, no-flash, fill-in flash options.
The macro lens is also good for extreme close-ups.
All-in-all trouble-free, easy to use, and robust.
