Stephen, Bicester Point & shoot

Score 10.0/10
Good points:
I would have to say it is a Great little Camera i love the Rechargeable Battery,The charger comes with both British and European connections and the cable is USB so you can charge your mobile phones and other items using USB.I have seen cheaper Cameras but not many with a Chargeable Battery a big plus you have the share button and it takes videos.I found it to be a really great Camera and really great value for Money so yes would recommend it to friends and anyone that wants a great Buy.
Bad points:
I have not found any as far as Camera goes but would say it would have been nice if memory card was with it or case.

Good points:
Love this camera. Its small and light. Takes great pictures lots of settings so would recommend a play around before taking any serious pictures. Would be better if it came with a case. The battery lasts a long time much better than normal batteries. Great value for money.
Bad points:
No case provided.

Morag, Glasgow Point & shoot

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
Easy to use, good quality pics, easy to transfer pics, nice and small, good having a rechargable battery which keeps running costs down.
Bad points:
Not sure how all the features work yet - all looks a bit complicated - I can only take normal point and shoot pics so far - but then I have not read all the instructions yet so it might be quite easy to do other stuff.
Battery does not last as long as expected (have an older fuji camera which is similar and the battery lasts ages, like for a 2 week holiday) - this battery only seems to last a few hours - it might just be beacuse I am using this one much "heavier" than the other one - lots and lots of pics in a few hours as opposed to some throughout the day.
