Score 9.0/10+ I think that this is a great little camera, especially for the money. It powers-on nice and quickly, and is fantastically easy to use. It produces some great, crisp, vivid images, even in relatively poor lighting conditions. The panoramic feature is great fun, and is capable of achieving some impressive results. Video quality is good, also, and all the various other features/shooting modes of the A170 work very well. Battery consumption is very reasonable, even on fairly bog-standard rechargeables. All in all it's a good quality, reliable camera which produces all-round good results. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a generic 'point and shoot'.
- There aren't any major bad points to the A170, in my experience of it. The quality of pictures taken with the digital zoom aren't the best, it has to be said. But the optical maintains very good clarity, so unless the digital zoom is of great importance to you, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. One slightly irritating factor regards the video capture feature is that if you zoom whilst videoing; it zooms in 'steps'/stages, as opposed to zooming in a single, smooth and steady motion. Again, this isn't a massive problem unless you want a really superb video feature (in which case....by a video camera!). The only two improvements that I feel could be made to a camera of this nature would be a slightly greater optical zoom, and a slightly more powerful macro feature.

Score 7.0/10+ A neat sized camera, with very good quality images.

Limited features with some others missing that other makes include even in this price range.
navigating your way through the menus is a bit tedious and took a little while to master.

Score 9.0/10+ Great all-purpose point & click camera. Limited, but good quality zoom. Great features for the beginner or leisure photographer. We bought this for an under-10 who with an eye for photography - does all he wants and more giving him an opportunity to experiment. Ideal first or casual camera.
- Limited features for more advanced photographers.

Score 10.0/10+ I wanted a small robust camera with decent picture quality for use when backpacking. This one does the biz - it's been wet, freezing, dropped, baked in sunshine, dropped again, muddy, and always worked. Quite quick to get started and reasonable speed of zoom.
