Advantages: Reliable and sturdy

Disadvantages: quality could be better

I wanted to buy a gift for my mum for christmas and this seemed like a good choice. She really wanted a camera that took great photos, but i didn't want to spend a fortune and i doubted that my mother would be able to use all of the features available. I was certainly not disappointed with this model. The design is very nice and i felt that the camera fit well in my hands. Sometimes cameras can be a little flimsy and don't feel too solid, but this was just right. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the zoom function as I feel it lacked some detail, on the other hand I don't think that the user it was intended for will particularly be using that feature so it wouldn't be an issue anyway! I would recommend this for people who want to take photos without a huge cost.

The cable that comes with the camera makes it really easy to upload your photos onto the computer and is easy for a beginner to do. Another problem I have been having with this camera is that it can be a little fiddly to change the flash settings.

Summary: Great little camera
