, “student”
+
fantastic little camera! very easy to use, with brilliant quality pictures. the DIS and anti-shake features make it an ideal camera for students as well, as the camera excels in low-light places such as clubs and bars, getting rid of those annoying dark photos where you can't see anything the morning after.

, “Not usually camera friendly!”

I love it. It's sleek and slick and takes great photos and isn't much bigger than a mobile phone.
-
It's not the most user friendly to scroll through to change the settings. It's not difficult though and once you remember what's where it's fab.

It's pink, it will get you noticed! Other colours it comes in are also very nice though! Interesting shape, not your usual digital camera look.

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

|
3
|
|
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
|
Screen Size in Inches

|
2.7
|
|
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
|
Digital Zoom Ratio

|
5
|
|
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

|
Multi
|
|
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

|
HDD
|
|
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to.

|
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)

|
90.7x58x19.9
|
|
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
|
Weight (g)

|
116
|
|
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.
|
Resolution (Pixels)

|
3264x2448
|
|
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

|
16"
|
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

|
f3.5-4.5
|
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.
|
USB Port

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