This was my first digital camera. It is affordable and very easy to learn to use. When you take a photograph it does take a while to save it so it is not really ideal for capturing anything quickly. It's much better used to take pictures of landscapes or posing friends/family. However the pictures are of very high quality. The menus are simple and very legible. I think that this is the perfect camera for someone who has never owned a digital camera before to learn the basics with.

The camera allows you to change the colouration of pictures once taken, you can make them black and white or sepia toned which can make pictures look more professional. It is very easy to zoom in on certain parts of photographs you have previously taken and it has a 4x zoom for when you are taking a picture.

Once you have taken a picture you can very simply lock it so that it cannot be accidently deleted which is a very helpful feature. Pictures are also easily deleted and navigated through via the "quick view" button on the camera by the LCD screen.

The instruction manual that you receive with the camera is easy to understand and explains the various functions lucidly. Most of the cameras are sold with a USB cable and the memory cards do not cost very much which is a bonus.

I did notice however that batteries don't last very long so if you intend on taking a lot of pictures it would be a good idea to carry estra batteries with you.
