I bought this camera as I was having a night out and wanted some good snaps to keep.
The casing feels a little plasticy but the whole unit feels pretty sturdy. The battery cover will not open randomly, which I have had problems with before, as it has a sliding latch.
The flash can be a little slow to warm up, but is fine if you don't want to take pictures every five seconds.
The menu is very simply to use, which is very useful if you have had a few to drink :P
The picture quality is good, however, when zooming in it is hard to get a focused shot.
A good buy for those who want pictures on a night out or even a day out!
I would recommend this to those who aren't going to use this for any projects but just for fun.
