Advantages: Tiny camera, decent pictures Disadvantages: No digital display, must rely on viewfinder only!
● The Reason For The Purchase ●
I recently went out on our annual works christmas party and wanted to take a camera, the only digital camera I had was a fairly decent one (Minolta DiMage Z1, of which I've already written a review!) everyone knows how parties can get towards the end, drink could of been spilt on it, it could of got damaged or stolen. So I hunted around for a small, cheap digital camera and among others found this one. ... ...seemed too good to be true, in a nutshell its 1.3 megapixels, detachable flash, compact, can take memory cards and has an internal rechargeable battery.
● More About The Camera ●

Advantages: Small, easy to use Disadvantages: No LCD screen, viewfinder off centre
I wanted a small camera to take with me all the time when travelling for spontaneous shots and this seemed perfect. And for £30 it was a good deal as well.
Upsides: Fits in my wallet with no problems if you leave the flash module at home. In fact the manual is bigger then the camera. Great for quick shots as it is ready to take a shot as soon as you flick the on switch.
Downsides: There is no LCD screen, so you have to rely on the view finder. ... ...If you have glasses the view finder does not always match the photo if you are in a rush so take the time to centre the shot properly. Also there are some camera shake problems with low light shots as you would expect with such a small lens. Your need two hands and a few seconds to get a steady shot. There is also no lens cover so I'm sure it would become scratched quite easily if you are not careful with it. No zoom so for close work only. Overall: ...
