Advantages: 7MP, Face Detection and 10 scene modes

Disadvantages: It is not the low battery consumption camera that it claims to be!

I was lucky enough to get this camera as a gift. It came in quite a large box with the USB Cable, installation CD and manual. The first thing I admired about this camera is its light, compact physique. I just love taking pictures and it is so very easy for me to pop this in a handbag, or even a clutch purse due to its light weight and compact size.


Specifications from the manual include:
* 7.2 MegaPixels
* 3x Optical Zoom
* Face Detection
* Function Description
* 2.4"LCD Screen
* 10 Scene Modes
* Photo Help Guide
* Self Portrait Functionality
* Digital Image Stabilisation
* Movie Recording (with sound)
* High Senstitivity
* Low Battery Consumption


The camera does rise up to all the specifications included with the manual, except for the low battery consumption part. I used Rayovac non-rechargeable batteries in my previous camera (HP Photosmart E337) and it lasted through my numerous photo sessions. However, I was dismayed to see that despite the "Low Battery Consumption" feature, this camera ate up all my batteries after just ten pictures. That being said, I have to admit that Rayovac is not the highest quality battery out there. Therefore, I have recently purchased some Sony rechargeable batteries that work perfectly all right in the camera. Just don't be fooled by the low-battery feature!


Otherwise, I am very happy with the picture quality. 7 MP may not be suitable for you if you happen to be a professional photographer with an excellent eye for detail. However, I would say that this is the camera for someone who just wants to take capture some memories!


I checked some stores and the camera seems to be available from £53 to £60. Overall, I would say that this is quite a nice find for the price!


Thanks for reading!
