+ Fantastic little camera with loads of functions.

- Don't forget to purchase a 2GB+ memory card and watch your pixel settings - it can eat up memory space.

+ Everything!! I use my camera often as i am a registered childminder. Its the perfect size and does everything I need plus so much more. Is also great value for money and have highly recommended to friends.

- No bad points about the camera itself, but the camera didnt come with a case, although they are cheap enough to buy seperate it was a little inconvenient.

+ The camera was purchsed as a birthday present for 12 year old daughter who loved it. She has explored methods and features and is really pleased with it. The results are good. It was chosen for the rechargeable battery as well as the 10.2 MP. To date Great!

- No case I am always worried about the ability of such cameras to take knocks and bumps so I recommend a good case.

+ Small and neat to carry, and nice size screen.

- The only thing I dont like about this camera trying to view subject on the screen when in sunlight impossible, as I expect it is with many cameras now.

Matt, Urmston

+ It's a small cheap well built camera packed full of features. Cheap only on price not on build.

- The only bad point that I didn't like was the fact that you have to go into the menu when wanting to use the video. On previous camera's there is an option switch that lets you go from taking a picture, taking a video or playing.
