After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these.

The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual.

When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home.

The only downside is the bundled software which comes with the camera - It's awful! Everything is so huge on it and hasn't been designed at all that well. It says that you need to install all of it on your PC/Mac system. But there is a way of bypassing this. On Windows XP, it should come up as an external device and you'll be able to get the photos from the camera that way. If on a MacOS X, just use a programme called 'Image Capture' and get the photos from your camera that way.

It comes with many easy to use features:
- Selectable megapixel sizes: 10MPG, 6MPG, 4MPG, 2MPG
- 3.0x optical zoom (with an image stabiliser for those shakey hands moments)
- Different shooting modes: Macro, Portrait, Nighttime, Snow, etc
- Photo-effects: Sepia, Custom colour, Black and white
- Compression modes: Normal, Fine and Superfine
- Video capabilities

Other key benefits this camera has are:
- Smile detection
- USB
- A 2.5 inch LCD screen
- A self-timer
- Flash
- Light quality settings: Low-light, Outdoors cloudy/sunny, Indoors, etc
