Advantages: smooth zoom, lrg LCD, ease of use (mostly all thru the dial), true colour representation Disadvantages: LCD very prone to smudging, image quality beaten by Fuji A350 P&S!
Yes it had a pleasing amount of functions inc' full manual, apeature & shutter priority modes. And the zoom is smooth, though slightly steps back once you stop moving it. Focusing was 9/10 accurate (focus beam works well, though animals may not appreciate it), colours are truly well represented. However the images are bit on the softer side for my liking (Im much more fond of the Fujifilm quality...I had an ordinary P&S A350 Fuji that took better ... ...details (obvious in photos without flash), which bugged me as it resembled an image more like a webcame (to me).

Advantages: Really easy to use, high level technology Disadvantages: Probably has more features than I really needed to have paid for
I really like this camera. I am certainly no photographer, I am a bit of a point and click kind of person.

There are a few things I don't like. The flash isn't great and the screen often shows pictures as brighter than they really are. And I don't really get on with the software it comes with for uploading your photos.
