okay so im no photographer but stick with me ill do my best.

I bought this camera as im a designer and often need to take photos of things to build up research for particular projects. I bought this particular camera as it was recommended by a friend.

This is a fantastic little camera and does all i expect of it and more. It still remains one of the smaller digital cameras on the market and slips into the pocket with ease,no bigger than a standard mobile phone.It carries with it a great deal of functions including the usual sort of landscape and portrait modes etc,but one function i find really useful is the video function.This camera allows you to take videos,and obviously the bigger your memory card the longer the video.The zoom factor i found to be a bit of a problem,it only has a 3times optical zoom,which is in no way poor,but i think its now a little dated and i personally need something more substantial.The picture quality is simply fantastic,its always crisp and clear and can be easily blown up without any picture loss.One feature i particularly like is the shake feature,its senses when theres shakin and stabilises the camera to take a still photo,BRILLIANT!!
The camera is very robust and the metal casing is very tough,puts up with some real brunt!!!

great camera for the price,perhaps a little dated
