Advantages: exceptional clarity and colour, no camera shake, light ,simple... i could go on Disadvantages: little buttons, not for sausage fingers

The LCD isn't viewable under the direct sunlight which is a pity. The camera scores for its face detection technology. The lens actually moves around to scan for faces. The menu on this camera is easy to use as well. Anyone can just browse through the menu and find what they ...
