Most helpful reviews

Louis, Northampton Just point and shoot

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Some fantastic features high speed video at low resolution but best of all is the point and shoot facilities that can give results like a pro to an average user! Its still camera facilities are awesome two I no longer carry both.
Bad points:: No touch screen and menu slider takes a couple of times to get used to but no real problem and no screen protector needed

Digital zoom ratio	200
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.
Type of image stabiliser	Optical
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.
