Advantages: Great LCD

Disadvantages: So-so picture

I have owned this camera for over a few months and to be honest I wasn't overly impressed by it. Starting on design the camera looks very slick and sweet in the silver colour although all other colours apart from black should be avoided at all costs as it starts looking more like a toy camera than a £150 real one. Next onto picture quality, the camera does produce decent shots that can be easily blown up pretty big which is always good for posters although don't expect it to be impressive. Although it is 12 mega pixels the fact that the processor cannot handle the picture properly pretty much devalues the amount of pixels, this bundled with the fact that the lenses aren't that good either resulted in some decent and bad pictures. Moving onto the LCD screen which is simply amazing, even in direct sunlight it can be read with no problem and the size is just right. The features included should be mainly avoided such as smile shutter although the camera can detect faces. Overall for the brand reputation and the price the prodcut simply doesn't deliver and since then I have purchased a Panasonic FS3 which I have also reviewed.

Summary: Try and avoid
