This camera is small and slim so it's very portable and It has 7.2 megapixels and 3x Optical zoom so it's quite a nice point and shoot camera. And it comes in the colours blue, silver, pink, red and black.but i've found that the quality of the images aren't great and not very sharp and has more noise than average (especially in low light) but the colour seems very good especially the blues but the reds are a bit pale . And the 2.6 inch LCD screen for settings is also very user friendly. But the small buttons may be a problem for people with thicker fingers or have long finger nails. One of the strongest points are the 41 best shot modes, so all the occassions are catered for.
There's a video capture mode designed for youtube ( a very popular video website )but the quality is very poor shot in MPEG-4 H.264 format. They use quite a large compression to the images with smoothes out a lot of detail for smaller file sizes and doesn't make very good prints. The Anti shake feature works by raising the light sensitivity to a higher ISO combined with increasing the shutter speed.

Overall this is not a bad camera, if your looking for something thats capable and reliable but doens't need to be exceptional at anything then this is the camera for you
