I'm 20 years old, currently reading Psychology at university. I'm starting a photography course next year to pursue my hobby, but I have no idea as to a career. I just believe in being happy no matter what you do!

I recently bought this camera from Jessops along with a 3 year guarantee for just short of £180, which I didn't think was too bad really.
Its wonderfully small and compact - in fact, I've seen it described as almost Ultra Compact by a digital camera review site. The face side of the camera, I would say, is the same size as a credit card, and about 2cm thick. It boasts a brilliant LED viewer, and an easy to use menu system.
I originally had the Casio Exilim Ex-Z700, so as a newer model, it certainly has a few extra features.
The Best Shot mode has a few extras which I didn't have on the Z700 model. Mainly with the video camera, you can film not only in colour, but in Sepia and in Black and White as a silent film, which I found quite amusing.
Best Shot mode offers what every digital camera should have - Night mode, Macro mode for your close up shots, Portraits, and Water. You can manually change the settings to add colour filters, or change the White Balance.
It also has face recognition, which is handy if you are photographing people. It interested me that the face recognition picked up my cat in photos as well!
The 12.1 megapixels come in very handy if you like to see your work on your wall somewhere. It allows images to be blown up to A2 size, without affecting the quality. However, if, like me, you like to take a lot of pictures to upload onto networking sites like Facebook or MySpace, the file sizes can be rather large, which means they will eat up the space on your hard drive, use up your upload allowance [if you have one] and more annoying, if you are a MySpace user, your pictures will probably be refused for being over 5MB in size.
You can change the pixel settings to reduce the image size, but I wouldn't really advise it.
I found the Z1200 model to be much heavier than the Z700 model. They are pretty much the same size, so I'm not entirely sure why that is.
It comes with a self timer, so you can get in on those group shots, and a continuous shot mode.
One big disadvantage, which is probably the same for most digital cameras is the time lapse between shots. If something is happening, and you want to capture as much of it as you can, you probably find that you miss something whilst it processes one picture, shows you a preview and then sets up for the next shot.
But all in all, the Ex-Z1200 is a good camera for most things, whether it be going out with your friends, going to an event, taking photos of holidays, getting those close ups of flowers. Just make sure you keep it on you so you don't miss a thing!

has some good extra's like the face recognition, my mate had that on her camera, and seemed like a good feature. must admit I must buy a new camera, I only have 6mpx, and way out of date. the casio looks slim, can you get it in other colours?
