I have been using my camera for some time and find it reliable, easy to use and lightweight. It is solidly built but compact. It looks and feels like a 35mm camera with all the extras of a digital camera. The software provided with it is easy to load on the computer and use to transfer photographs. The camera itself is well marked so it is easy to change modes from connecting to the computer to changing the preferences. The picture quality settings can be changed from good to best so the memory card can store more pictures when required.
