Les, Carlisle , “just an average potographer.”

Score 10.0/10

+ Beautifully slim and compact. Extremely easy to set up and use with lots of exposure options. Every picture I've taken has turned out exactly as I wanted. And the zoom is brilliant.

- A little on the expensive side.

Sean, Buckinghamshire

Score 9.0/10

+ Size, price and image quality. Really liked the ability to select a scene that you want to take a picture of and it selects the options. The best feature though of all is the scene selection for maximising low light. Pictures come out brilliantly and I even use this in the day to prevent flag or enhance the picture quality in shadows, for example flowers or scenes which, to the naked eye look good, but to normal camera's come out bad. With this option it comes out as good as I see it.

- Auto face recognition and tracking feature I have noticed on other models but apart from this its great! This feature is not that much of a draw back though so minor bad point.

+ The camera has lots of different modes to help you take the perfect picture and is easy to use.

- When you select a different type of setting it changes the quality of the picture. It took me a while to notice this.

+ Excellent Quality Photo's.
This is actually the second time I've purchased this camera, the first was stolen on holiday but I bought the same one again because I was so pleased with it.

- The screen gets covered in finger prints easily and is difficult to keep clean.
Would be nice if a case was included with the camera.

Emily, Brighton , “Student”

Score 9.0/10

+ Small, lots of features, takes good quality photos, easy to upload to computer. 10.1 MPixels and 7x optical zoom is much better than what I'm used to!

- It's taking a while to get used to the menu, but that could just be because it's a new camera.

+ Very easy to use; perfect size; good for a photographic novice.

- I bought this camera especially because it was marketed as being easy to see the LCD screen in bright sunlight. Unfortunately I did not find this to be true. In all other respects it was fine.

linsey, crewe , “part time wedding photographer”

Score 9.0/10

+ not used it an awful lot yet, but i am impressed so far, at how easy it is to operate,the size of the screen and the overall quality of the product. my husband and i also have a canon eos, 450d, which we use for wedding photography, but required a small pocket size camera for our own , every day photos. This camera delivers on compactability, without us losing any of the quality we get from the eos.

+ I have not yet used it FULLY but I love the colour and I can't tell now but I have selected it so i think it's better than others

- it sleeps from my hands no gripping A better design is needed so it not so smooth and easy to keep in and within hands.. I am allways afraid to loose it even with the cord.
