My husband bought me this in February for our wedding Anniversary as I really love photography and was in need of a new digital camera.

At first I wasn't too impressed with the lack of features and settings that came with this camera but as it was, I quite happy with it. Then it stopped working! At first the battery sign would flash up so I assumed it was an issue with batteries. I got new batteries and it kept switching itself off! Irritated, I persisted with the camera, and got new batteries. This didn't resolve anything and I decided to look up the problem on Google.

Apparently Technika cameras are known for their faulty battery compartments! I was really frustrated but since I had a new camera it got forgotten about - just wish it hadn't happened in the first place.

I would never tell anyone to buy one of these cameras just for the sake of you'll spend a lot of money for something to break after using it a few times - and you won't really get fair use out of it.

The only advantages I could see were that it was the easiest digital camera to use and figure out.
