Advantages: Lightweight
Disadvantages: no manual zoom

This camera is light weight, and quick to use. As a novice to the SLR I've found this really easy to just pick up. The automatic settings are simple and the instruction manual gives handy tips and advice how to use the manual settings. I've had this Canera for about 4 months now and I can't believe some of the pictures I've taken with it. the manual zoom means that you have more control over your depth of field etc. lenses are eay to change and ...

It is very light weight compared to all the other SLR's and a pleasure to use , as well as being comfortable to hold , unlike some of the more bulky SLR's.

Advantages: Daylight photos and battery
Disadvantages: Night photos

This machine will be your best friend. Especially if you don't have a mobile that take photos. You can carry with you easy cause to the small size. Perfect image colours for the daylight photos but not the same for the night especially if you try to take photo people further than 2 meters due to the week flash. The battery last longer than other cameras cause the optical zoom is internal (Minolta pattern) and the LCD screen at the back is small(less ...
...that last with less money is a good selection. Definitely there are better cameras with better night photos. But is difficult to find any camera to take photos at night. Tip for nights photos don't use the flash. Press the button for photo and wait . Try this to take photo a town from above at night. It needs 30 second to take a photo like that but the result is perfect. Have fun. ... Read review
