Fantastic Simple Camera- Easy To Use. 7 of 7 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from DixieChick10 5 Stars ()

Advantages Easy to use, good LCD screen, gr8 zoom.

Disadvantages Bit to simple, gets a bit boring after a while.

If you're not looking for a high-tech camera, all you want is something that takes alright pictures and is simple to use, this camera is for you.

The overall design of this camera is lovely, it's got a great shape to it, and doesn't embarrass you if you take it out. The LCD screen is large enough, to see what pictures you have taken.

I've had this camera for just under a year now and we've had to exchange it twice, because it was eating up batteries like I don't know what. On the second time we exchanged it we decided to change the normal zinc carbon batteries for rechargable ones which do work. We have to charge them about once a week, but it's great to take perfect pictures with.

As we're only using this camera to take pictures of the family etc, we don't really need anything that high-tech so it's perfect for us. However, there are some things that do annoy me with this camera.

1) If you get the light in the wrong place it takes terrible pictures, so a lot of the time your spontanious pictures are ruined.

2) Also if you wanted to take quite a few pictures in a quick amount of time you cant, i'm sure there might be a button that changes that but if you use it normally it takes about 7 seconds to re-load.

3) Your paying for what you get, because for a digital camera £70-80 is the lowest that you would get for a decent camera it is slightly limited.

I think overall this camera is great if you just want to take pictures of things around the house, and outside, but it's not that high-tech which might be good for some people but other's after awhile you just get a bit bored.

Hope this is helpful.
