+ Easy to use, shoot and point and takes a brilliant photo, even good when moving-doesnt blur!!, extrememly good at night. Battery lasts really well, infact i've had mine well over a month used it at least 3 times a week and its still half full!!! its even been accidentally dropped on a concrete floor and there are no marks and it works perfectly fine! the facial recognision is really good also. Screen is a great size, and its nice and light to fit in your pocket or bag.

- couldnt find any!!

+ Recently bought this camera as a small alternative to my digital slr. It's fits handily in a pocket or handbag, very easy to use, managed to work out how to use most functions without referring to the manual (which is on a disk only), it has enough functions for most people who are looking for a camera that mostly does it for you, but you do have some options if you prefer to play around with it a bit. Photos are excellent. Screen size means photos are very clear and easyto view. Found Dixons to be the cheapest price and arrived really quickly too.

- Only that the manual is disk only and doesnt come with a case- Managed to pick one up at ur local £1 shop that fits excellently

Martin, Birmingham

+ Really easy to use, expecially in auto mode just point at take picture (better for the total novice not having to select the best picture option). Screen is large and clear. So far, the battery is lasting very well. Very nice small practical camera for everyday use.

- None at the moment.

Steve, Wakefield

+ Looks & feels good, small enough to keep in my pocket, good pictures, good battery life, excellent screen. Video capture is pretty good too.

- Menu takes a bit of getting used to. No paper manual. Don't forget to get a memory card, I reccomend 8GB

+ Easy to use, lightweight, compact, good picture quality, long battery life, offers loads of features but set to auto means no worries whether its portraits or landscapes, really does make getting that good photo easier!

+ small and compact

- Too slow. The time delay between pressing the button to actually taking the photo means that you can't get the image you would want. Spend the extra and get a Canon ixus

+ Decent Quality photos

- There is such a long lag between the flash and the picture actually being taken that the camera is un-useable. The camera boy is also very cheap looking plastic

Product Features

Camera Type	Compact
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
resolution (Megapixel)	10

Optical Zoom Ratio	3
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Screen Size in Inches	3
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Digital Zoom Ratio	5.7
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Face Recognition	Yes
A function for automatically detecting peoples faces and correctly adjusting the focus and exposure to take the best photo
Image Stabilisation	Yes
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
Colour	Black
The main colour of the product.
Colour	Silver
The main colour of the product.
Memory Card Slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Media Format	SD Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	SDHC Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
PictBridge	Yes
An industry standard allowing images to be printed from camera to printer, without needing a computer. CIPA PictBridge Standard Website
Macro Mode	Yes
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
Video Recorder	Yes
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
Manual Focus	No
Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.
Timer	Yes
Having a timer function is essential if you want to get into the shot yourself. Make sure your camera has this feature if you plan to go on holiday and capture photos of you and your friends or family having fun together.
Under Water	No
An under water feature means your camera is safe to dive with, usually between 3 and 5 metres. Most dSLR cameras will require expensive separate housing so consider investing in a waterproof digital compact first.
Dimensions (mm)	56x91x17.4
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Weight (g)	96.5
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Series	Finepix
The name the manufacturer has given to this model’s range.
Resolution (Pixels)	3648x2736
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Shortest Shutter Speed	2000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
Longest Shutter Speed	8"
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
Max. Aperture Lens 1	f3.1-5.6
Measured in f-stops the aperture of a lens dictates the maximum amount of light captured. If you want to do low light photography look for something with a wide aperture like f2.8. The widest aperture is given as a range as it changes when your lens is zoomed in.
In-Built Memory (MB)	20

USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
