Advantages: Nice quality, compact, simple to use Disadvantages: battery life
...also has video feature which doesn't record sound which was a bit of a dissapointment but then again i bought it to take pictures and not to record videos.
Another dissapointment was changing the batterys after one to two days of use. The main problem with this is the battery indicator goes to half level and there is no further warning, the camera just shuts down. I would recommend using rechargeable batteries, always keeping one set fully charged. These can be purchased from B&Q for approx £10. The camera takes 2 x AA batteries.
You can get your pictures developed from most photo processing places but only if you have a memory card. Processing costs around £5 for 50 pictures with the added options of choosing which pictures you have developed and also have them edited to your taste e.g zoom, cropping, black and white etc

Advantages: sleek design, very easy to operate, tough Disadvantages: battery life, response time
..., and also good for taking close, detailed pictures if you have the patience to get it to focus properly. However, when taking pictures of a long distance, e.g. a landscape shot it does not focus with as much sharpness as I would like. It also finds it difficult to focus properly in low light conditions, although I don't know if this is a problem common with all cameras or not.
The battery life of this model is about average, lasts for about 100 shots in my experience, with a bit of spare life for viewing pictures inbetween taking shots. I also like the way one can view the pictures taken without activating the camera lens, just pressing one button to view the memory card's contents.
The remote control that came with the camera I thought was a stroke of genius, I never imagined such a relatively cheap camera would come with something so fancy...
