Sue, Wickford

Compact camera easy to use would have liked a manual with camera as opposed to have to download from disc. and a straight to mains from camera lead. But overall am very pleased with it.

Have not found any yet. Still discovering it

great camera, great shutter time, great quality photos. Varying levels of quality on both video and still pictures, and the video when put to the best is very good indeed. . Very easy to use, what more could you want! great camera

obviously because its a 10mp camera, it eats in to the memory card alot, so chose your shots/videos wisely, buy a large memory card or change to a lower MP when taking pics/lower quality when taking videos.

- Taking a Picture Hori/Verti & then turning the camera around, and the image turns with you (very clever) - The sharpness of the images - The flash in bad lighting - Being able to change the ISO to suit the image quality

Just the fact that to charge the battery, you have to take it of the camera and on to the docking station. Which means carrying a spare if you are going to be taking loads of pictures is a necessity

Mk, Leeds

the good points are the strong build quilty very good

the picture focus is not that good when u look deep into your picture its a bit of a blur but when your taking pictures the long distance pictures are good but if you got some people who are standing a few feet in front of the camera the picture is not that good thats why i choose the fuji f100 when taking a picture of people in front a few feet away the fuji is a winner thats why i changed my canon to a fuji f100 check both cameras out fuji will be the winner.

Barry, Bulkington, Warwickshire, “Pensioner, experienced amateur photographer”

Excellent build quality, excellent sharpness and versatility. Light weight and handy size.

Close focussing could be better. Menus and instructions very complex if all the possibilities of the camera are to be utilised. Detailed instruction are on DVD and thus are inconvenient to use in the field. A book would have been much more useful.
