Claire, Northampton Point & shoot
- Good points:
- Excellent picture quality, so many options to choose from, plus the auto intelligent option which selects the best settings for each picture for moments when you are quite sure which option is best. Good quality camera, without being too bulky or expensive.
- Bad points:

Joseph, Hornchurch Keen amateur
- Good points:
- Very fast shooting, great focus options, fast start up. All in all a great product.
- Bad points:
- The lens that was supplied. Can't handle close ups at all, meaning a new (and expensive) lens is strongly recommended, and barely any zoom.
