It’s one of these cameras that are as complicated as you make them.

You have to option of auto; point and shoot images. No messing about point the cameras at your subject and you’ve got yourself a nice holiday snap.

But it you want to fiddle which the settings, the timing the light transparency focus exposure degree dishwasher thingy…. Then you can do that too.

It’s probably as heavy as you expect a camera which as 4AA batteries inside to be.
Rechargeable batteries are a must, as it will suck normal ones dry within hours.
But rechargeable ones seem to last or weeks…. I can’t explain it but there we are.

I’ve had this camera for about 2½ years now it’s never let me down.
I think once upon a time it cost £400!

It’s been a firm favourite ever since it’s release and consistently performs well against cameras of a much higher price.
