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.

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.

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.
|
Optical Zoom Ratio

|
1
|
|
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
|
Screen Size in Inches

|
2.5
|
|
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
|
Digital Zoom Ratio

|
8
|
|
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.
|
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
|
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.
|
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.
|
Dimensions (mm)

|
60x88x25
|
|
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
|
Weight (g)

|
86
|
|
The weight of the product in grams.
|
Resolution (Pixels)

|
4032x3024
|
|
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

|
8000
|
|
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

|
0.25"
|
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.
|
USB Port

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