+ QUALITY OF PICTURES IS GOOD.
ZOOM VERY GOOD
SIZE GOOD SMALLISH
GOOD SCREEN

- BATTERIES ARE A NIGHTMARE. 2 USED EVERY SESSION MAYBE ONLY 30 MINUTES AT A TIME
PRESENTLY TRYING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. SLOW TO START UP. ONCE THE BUTTON IS HIT YOU HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND WHEN TAKING PHOTOS QUICKLY THIS CAN MISS YOUR SHOT.

Robin, West Linton

+ Good image quality. Good low light performance. Comes with free case. Robust construction.

- No viewfinder. Can't see LCD in bright sunlight which makes it difficult to see what you are photographing.

+ Bought for my 12yr old son for our holidays. The quality of pictures are excellent and my son has had fun using the picture framing (bunny ears etc) feature. He has found it very easy to use and likes the fact that menu is easy to find and use and all laid out logically. Was initially apprehensive at no view finder but is now a convert to the big screen.

- He has not found any yet.

+ I wanted an easy to use,small but good quality camera and I am very pleased with this my first digital camera .It is so easy to use ,it tells me if the focus is good or bad and if I am not keeping the camera still enough and has a big viewing screen,easy to use menu and no complicated buttons to blind me with science, and very important is small enough to fit in my handbag easily so can be taken everywhere. It is easy enough for my Daughter to use and we are enjoying practicing and seeing the results from close ups of a butterfly to distance shots of my family rockpooling. The price was also a big factor as I had limited funds so I would recommend this camera to everybody.

- The only thing I would say that would be a good addition would be a view finder as when the sun is shining really brightly the viewing screen is sometimes difficult to see. But that is a very small problem and would obviously add more cost to the camera so not really a bad point for the type of camera and price that I was able to afford.

Phil, Wrexham

+ Battery types defined.

- A bit slow when processing, but what do you expect with 10 MP cameras.
Also, re battery types, it would have been better to draw immediate attention to this feature, as it can lead to a shut down of the camera. When you are trying to get a quick shot, you can't fiddle about with this control. A minor matter overall.

+ Easy to use, lots of different settings available but all manageable! Easy, understandable manual. Good quality photos, hard wearing.

- Seems to get through batteries quite quickly, but I take a LOT of photos so could just be due to the amount I use it... either way, rechargables are probably best for it.
