+ Very simple camera, looks compact and sturdy

- For a 5MP camera, images are very poor. No additional feature outside of point and click, which is fine if you are 5 years old. Very flimbsy design, would want to drop it. Not worth the money.

Mags, Edinburgh

+ Cheap, pretty, light, handy. As a wee cheap and cheerful, it seems fine. Not a serious photographer's camera, but then the price tells you that. Fine for what you pay for. I wanted it to keep in the car to take these shots that you never have a camera handy for ~ potholes, floods, frosty trees, buzzards, things.

- The camera is very slow to respond when taking pictures with flash. There is a tacky "Snap" message when the shot has been taken and there appears to be a resolution difficulty when using flash. There is either a reflect back problem, or the resolution of the on screen picture is poor along the bottom, although not enough to render the picture unusable. I haven't played enough with it to know if the problem is in the camera or in the flash yet.

- Poor quality. I wish I had spent a little more and got a better camera.
I teach ICT and bought it for individual use by pupils on a special project but I don't think it will be sturdy enough to do the job.
