Tony, Near town Point & shoot

Score 10.0/10
Good points:
Very easy to use without reference to the instruction book
Good clear sharp pictures.
Very good battery life before recharging needed.
Bad points:
Havent used it much yet really and dont have many bad points to report.
Not sure why it does not come with a card or carry bag to protect the rear screen as the cost of these would be minimal if provided with the camera

James, Kingussie Keen amateur

Score 9.0/10
Good points:
Compact, lightweight though sturdy quality build, very clear image, reasonably easy to work out the general features .
Bad points:
Would have much preferred it to have a small hard copy of the Users Manual rather than having to download a number of A4 size pages which are not so easy to carry around.
