- 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.

- 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.
