+ compact, great price, easy to use buttons

- battery not rechargeable flash not good

+ Reviewer left no comment

- a bit chunky

+ It's easy to use and the image quality is satisfying.

- Although it's small, it could be improved to be lighter and smaller still, but otherwise i'm pretty happy with the camera.

+ Takes good pictures in good light.

- Menus a little difficult to get used to. Battery life seems quite short

+ well made, good features, advanced processor, optical viewfinder

- flash a little weak, a little difficult to learn to use especially if it was a first digital camera for someone

+ Excellant quality, very easy to use specially with computer programme

- None

+ I have found it easy to use and the picture quality is excellent. A very good product and amazing value for money.

- Doesn't quite fit into my pocket!

+ Camera takes really good pictures, it's very easy to use. Features are perfect for me. Value for money was brilliant

- I don't like the build quality

+ a well constructed camera with many features only found in much more expensive models ,it is very versatile and enables you to take good quality photos, it is extremely good value for the price and i would unreservedly recommend it

- the engravings on the function switch are very small and difficult to read in anything but good light

+ Easy to hold and operate but with a wide range of options if required

- None for the price

+ A neat, compact and light camera that is very easy to use. Excellent image quality with the option of 16.9 aspect on all modes apart from video, which I didn't need anyway. I wanted a camera capable of producing true 16.9 images to integrate into my 16.9 cam-corder footage and this model was perfect.

- There aren't any really. I took the time to find a camera that would suit my needs and this was the one that had all the features necessary to fill my requirements, with some to spare.

+ Easy to use, good quality pictures, video included excellent.

+ A good all round little camera. Excellant for a first digital. Great value for money.

- Given as a present, therefore unable to comment on specifics. Same the word refurbished was given such prominence on the packaging.

+ It is a great camera for the price and the pictures are very clear

- Not very good at night time pictures

+ Smal, light and very easy to use. The quality of pictures is good, and I have found that recording short video clips is also very easy and when played back through my laptop the sdound quality is good.

- The only awkward bit can be opening and closing the battery compartment - it sometimes doesn't seem to close fully but it really doesn't constitute a major problem

+ Outstanding optics coupled with a good viewfinder (in sunny conditions all screens look washed out and are difficult to use) make it an ideal camera for all round use.

- None really.

+ Ease of use, good image quality for price.

- Heavy on battery power

+ Great picture quality, easy to just point and shoot, or more adventurous photographers can play around with the many features. Easy to transfer pictures from camera to computer, the supporting software is very comprehensive.

- I would have liked a camera case with it.

+ All good

+ Have used a Canon camera before, so the menus were easy to use. Good feature list. Easy on batteries. Excellent screen. Really easy to pickup and shoot, but lots of options when you want to tweek some of your shoots.

- The battery cover feels a bit filmsy. Some small scratches on the screen, but only visible with the camera off. Then again it is a refurb so didn't expect it to be perfect.

+ Easy to use

- Batteries lasts for very short amount of time.
